Upon receipt of this product, inspect the shipping carton for evidence of
mishandling during transit. If the shipping carton is badly damaged or water
stained, request that the carrier's agent be present when the carton is
opened. If the carrier's agent is absent when the carton is opened and the
contents of the carton are damaged, keep the carton and packing material
for the agent's inspection.
For repairs to a product damaged in shipment, refer to the Acromag
Service Policy to obtain return instructions. It is suggested that salvageable
shipping cartons and packing material be saved for future use in the event
the product must be shipped.
This board is physically protected with packing material and electrically
protected with an anti-static bag during shipment. However, it is
recommended that the board be visually inspected for evidence of
mishandling prior to applying power.
Refer to the specifications for loading and power requirements. Be sure
that the system power supplies are able to accommodate the power
requirements of the system boards, plus the installed Acromag board, within
the voltage tolerances specified.
Adequate air circulation must be provided to prevent a temperature rise
above the maximum operating temperature and to prolong the life of the
electronics. If the installation is in an industrial environment and the board is
exposed to environmental air, careful consideration should be given to air-
filtering.
Remove power from the system before installing board, cables,
termination panels, and field wiring.
The AXM-VFX-EDK cannot stand-alone and must be mated with a
compatible Acromag PMC-VFX module. The default configuration of the
control register bits at power-up is described in section 3.
The AXM-VFX-EDK board has four front I/O connectors. The first is a
double row 14-pin 2mm header (male) for JTAG programming. This is the
standard Xilinx JTAG Header. The second I/O interface is a double row 34-
pin 0.1” header (male). A standard floppy drive cable can be used to
connect to the interface. The third and fourth I/O interfaces are 9-pin DSUB
right-angle female connectors. Note the cables are available from Acromag.
