Installing the XVME-653/658 into a Backplane
This section provides the information necessary to install the XVME-653/658 into the
VMEbus backplane. The XVME-653/658 is a double-high, single board VMEbus mod-
ule that occupies one VMEbus slot.
Note
Xycom Automation XVME modules are designed to comply with all
physical and electrical VMEbus backplane specifications.
Caution
Do not install the XVME-653/658 on a VMEbus system without a P2
backplane.
Warning
Never install or remove any boards before turning off the power to the
bus and all related external power supplies.
1. Disconnect all power supplies to the backplane and the card cage. Disconnect the
power cable.
2. Make sure backplane connectors P1 and P2 are available.
3. Verify that all jumper settings are correct.
4. Verify that the card cage slot is clear and accessible.
5. Install the XVME-653/658 in the card cage by centering the unit on the plastic
guides in the slots (P1 connector facing up). Push the board slowly toward the rear of
the chassis until the P1 and P2 connectors engage. The board should slide freely in
the plastic guides.
Caution
Do not use excessive force or pressure to engage the connectors. If the
boards do not properly connect with the backplane, remove the module
and inspect all connectors and guide slots for damage or obstructions.
6. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the machine screws at the top and
bottom of the board.
7. Connect all remaining peripherals by attaching each interface cable into the appro-
priate connector on the front of the XVME-653/658 board as shown in Table 2-23.
8. Turn on power to the VMEbus card cage.
