Choosing Slot
Locations
Insert the first SBC with PMC-605 card in Slot 1, the left-most slot in the VME chassis, if you
want it to be the VMEbus System Controller (SYSCON). If you intend to use another card as
the SYSCON, place the SBC with PMC-605 in the left-most unoccupied slot. All VME cards
should be installed in adjacent slots; leaving empty slots may cause problems with interrupts
and Bus Grant signals.
Insert the additional SBC with PMC-605 cards in the immediately adjacent slots.
If you have a specific SBC with PMC-605 card that you wish to use as the PCI-P0 System
Controller, make sure that it is installed to the left of the other cards equipped with PMC-605
cards.

ACKPLANE
Attach the PCI-P0 development backplane (either the BPL-605-002 or the BPL-605-003) to
the back of the VME backplane. Depending on your system, your PCI-P0 development
backplane may support 2 or 3 slots.

A.3: PCI-P0 Backplane Installation
Caution
Be careful not to bend any pins when attaching the PCI-P0 development backplane and
make sure that it is correctly oriented. The A1 pin is indicated on each of the PCI-P0
development backplane’s male connectors. Each A1 pin should mate with the A1 pins on the
VME backplane. Refer to Figure A.3 for the correct orientation.
