Installing the XVME-976 on an XVME-655
The XVME-976 connects to the XVME-655 indirectly through an XVME-
978 expansion module. Additional equipment needed to complete the con-
nection is as follows:
•
Two long standoffs, and either the
•
XVME-978/1 Ethernet expansion module or the
•
XVME-978/100 transition module (if Ethernet functionality is not
needed)
Installing the XVME-976 to the Host XVME-655 Processor
Module
Note
This procedure assumes the XVME-978 has been installed onto
the XVME-655 processor module. Instructions for installing the
XVME-978 onto the XVME-655 can be found in the XVME-
655 manual.
1. Follow procedures for the prevention of static discharge to prevent dam-
age to the circuitry of the modules.
2. Disconnect all power sources.
3. Loosen the screws on the front panel of the XVME-655 processor mod-
ule.
4. Remove the XVME-655 (with XVME-978 connected) from the VME
backplane, as follows:
•
Gently pull on the face plate until it slides out of the chassis
5. Place the boards on a static-free surface with the XVME-978 on top.
6. Align interboard connectors 1 and 2 on the XVME-976 with the inter-
board connectors on the XVME-978 module.
7. Gently press the two boards together. Do not bend or twist the XVME-
976.
8. Add standoffs (2) and standoff screws (2 pairs) as illustrated in Figure 1-
2.
