1.2.2 Attaching the XVME-956/1 to the XVME-PC/AT
The installation procedure involves three basic steps:
• i n s t a l l i n g the expansion module onto the XVME-956 (see Section 1.3)
• connecting the XVME-956
VME
carrier card to the XVME-684, -686, and -687 modules via
P1 and P2 of the VME backplane, and installing the XVME-956 and CPU into the VMEbus
rack
• i n s t a l l i n g the printed circuit board (Inter-board connector) on the VMEbus backplane at J2,
connecting the XVME-684 or XVME-686 and the XVME-956/1
1.2.2.1 C o n n e c t i n g the XVME-956 Carrier Card to the XVME-PC/AT and Installing these
Cards in the VMEbus Rack
Xycom modules are designed to comply with all physical and electrical VMEbus backplane
specifications. T h e XVME-956/1 VME carrier card is a double-high, single-wide module and requires
one slot next to the XVME-684, -686, or -687 with both P1 and P2 connections.
Once the jumper and switch configurations for the XVME-956 are checked, and the expansion module
is installed as indicated in Section 1.4, connect the XVME-956/1 VME carrier card to the XVME-684,
-686 or -687 processor CPU module. See Figure 1-1.
