The PMC-605 should only be installed on an SBC in the PMC slot that routes the PMC-605’s
P4 connector to the SBC’s P0 connector. The PMC-605 will not operate correctly if installed
in a different basecard PMC slot position.

About Card
Insertion Force
Many SBCs employ 160-pin, 5 row connectors for the P1 and P2 interfaces. Proper mating
of these connectors with the VME backplane requires a significant amount of insertion force.
Use extra care when aligning and inserting your SBCs into your chassis, to ensure that a
secure mechanical and electrical connection is made between the cards and the backplane
mating connectors.

Cross Reference
In most cases, the PMC-605 will have already been mounted on the basecard at the factory
to ensure proper mechanical and thermal mating connections. If necessary, refer to the
Application Note PMC Module Mounting Instructions, document 808335, for information
about installing your PMC-605 on the basecard.
Warning
Turn the power off before inserting or removing cards from the VME chassis.
Failure to do so could damage the card circuitry or cause personal injury.
