2.2 Installing into a Backplane
The XVME-6500 is a 6U, single-slot module. For proper cooling, the air-cooled
models must only be installed into an air-cooled chassis.
The XVME-6500 modules are designed to comply with all physical and
electrical VMEbus backplane specifications of VME64x.
The XVME-6500 is available both with and without a P0 connector. Without
P0 would normally be required for a legacy system that contains a stiffener
bar in that location.
In order to have access to some of the listed P2 I/O and to supply enough
power for the i7-4700EQCPUit is recommended that a backplane with 5-row,
160-pin P1 and P2 connectors be used.
Note:
When used in a legacy system with 3-row, 96-pin P1 and P2 connectors,
power available to the expansion sites will be severely limited and the
programmable power limits on the CPU should be used.
WARNING: Never install or remove any boards before turning off power to
the bus and all related external power supplies.
1.
Disconnect all power supplies to the backplane and the card cage.
Disconnect the power cable.
2.
Make sure backplane connectors P1 and P2 are available.
3.
Verify that all DIP switch settings are correct.
4.
Verify that the card cage slot is clear and accessible.
5.
Install the XVME-6500 in the card cage by centering the unit on the
plastic guides in the slots (P1 connector facing up). Push the board
slowly toward the rear of the chassis until the P1 and P2 connectors
engage. The board should slide freely in the plastic guides.
WARNING: Do not use excessive force or pressure to engage the connectors.
If the boards do not properly connect with the backplane, remove the
module and inspect all connectors and guide slots for damage or
obstructions.
6.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the machine screws at
the top and bottom of the board.
7.
Connect all remaining peripherals by attaching each interface cable into
the appropriate connector on the front of the XVME-6500 board, or on
the XVME-9640 Rear Transition Module.
