This chapter describes the installation of the XVR16 VME Single Board Computer
on a VME backplane and initial power-on operations.
3.1 Installation Preparation
Observe all safety procedures to avoid damaging the system and to protect
operators and users. Use the following steps to install your Abaco hardware.
1. Ensure that the system power and external supplies have been turned off
before installing or removing any board.
2. Check that the jumpers and mezzanines are correctly configured for your
application.
3. Mount the board/mezzanine/transition module carefully. If applicable, see
section
C.1.2 Mounting of PMC or XMC Module
4. Connect all IO cables.
5. Restore the power once it is certain that all modules are correctly fitted into
the system and all connections have been made properly.
3.1.1 VMEbus Products
On a standard VMEbus backplane, remove the jumpers on the IACKIN -
IACKOUT interrupt daisy-chain (1 jumper) and on the BGxIN - BGxOUT bus
grant daisy-chains (4 jumpers) for the slot where the board is to be mounted. The
daisy-chain jumpers on the VMEbus backplane should be mounted on all free
slots.
Setting jumpers is not necessary for the Abaco Auto-Daisy-Chain VMEbus
backplane.
A board with system controller functionality must be fitted into slot 1.
The backplane must 3.3 V and +5 V.
Because the board is available in several options, the description in this chapter is
related to the standard configuration. Mount the CPU board carefully in the VME
slot.
3.1.2 Replacing/Disposing of Batteries
There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by Abaco.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions of Abaco and applicable local
regulations. See
