warranty and cause personal injury or property damage.

2 ESD

Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation or 
removal of the card can damage circuit or shorten its life.

Use a properly grounded ESD wrist strap or make work 
in an ESD-safe environment. 

Connect to the ESD connector at the front or the rear of 
the system.

3 Site preparation

Make sure that all environmental and power requirements defined in 
the 

Penguin Edge™ MVME2500 Installation and Use

 manual are 

met.

Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating 
around the blade and not to the actual component temperature.

4 Install the RTM

1. Power down all equipment and disconnect the power cable 

from the AC power source.

2. Remove the chassis cover.
3. Remove the filler panel(s) from the card slot(s) at the rear of the 

chassis (if the chassis has a rear card cage).

4. Install the top and bottom edge of the transition module into the 

rear guides of the chassis.

5. Make sure the levers of the two injector/ejectors are in the 

outward position.

6. Slide the transition module into the chassis until resistance is felt.
7. Move the injector/ejector levers in an inward direction.
8. Verify that the transition module is properly seated and secure it 

to the chassis using the two screws adjacent to the injector/
ejector levers.

5 Install the PMX/XMC 

support

1. Remove the PMC/XMC filler plate from the front panel cut-out.
2. Slide the front bezel of the PMC/XMC into the cut-out from 

behind. The front bezel of the PMC/XMC module will be flushed 
with the board when the connectors on the module align with the 
mating connectors on the board.

3. Align the mating connectors properly and apply minimal pressure 

to the PMC/XMC until it is seated to the board.

4. Insert the four PMC/XMC mounting screws through the mounting 

holes on the bottom side of the board, then thread the four mount 
points on the PMC/XMC. Tighten the screws.

5. Install the board into the appropriate card slot. Make sure that 

the board is well seated into the backplane connectors. Do not 
damage or bend connector pins.

6. Replace the chassis or system cover.
7. Reconnect the system to the power source and then turn on the 

system.

6 Install the board

The MVME2500 does not support hot swap. Power off the slot or the 
system and make sure that the serial ports and switches are 
properly configured.

1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the 

strap to an electrical ground. Make sure that it is securely 
fastened throughout the procedure.

2. Remove VME filler panels from the VME enclosures, as 

appropriate.

3. Install the top and bottom edge of the board into the guides of the 

chassis.

4. Make sure the levers of the two injector/ejectors are in the 

outward position.

5. Slide the board into the chassis until there is resistance.
6. Simultaneously move the injector/ejector levers in an inward 

direction.

7. Verify that the board is properly seated and secure it to the 

chassis using the two screws located adjacent to the injector/
ejector levers.

8. Connect the appropriate cables to the board.
9. To remove the board from the chassis, reverse the procedure 

and press the red locking tabs (IEEE handles only) to extract the 
board.
