Board Installation
Frequency Devices' VM32PAFF conforms mechanically, in every respect, to the single width VME "B" size
(6U) form factor. Installation of a VM32PAFF board into a standard VME mainframe can proceed exactly
as for any other standard single width "B" size (6U) VME board.
CAUTION:
The VM32PAFF Board is sensitive to STATIC ELECTRICITY.
Use proper GROUNDING TECHNIQUES
when handling the board.
The VM32PAFF board may be installed in any available mainframe slot except Slot 0 (VMEbus Master).
The board does not use VMEbus interrupts or bus mastering capabilities, but passes all VMEbus daisy
chained signals automatically.
The major considerations in locating the VM32PAFF board in the mainframe are for EMI and I/O signal
cabling. To minimize interference from other boards in the system, it is good practice to keep one or more
empty slots between analog signal conditioning boards and high speed digital boards in the system. When
cabling the system, it is desirable to keep the analog signal cabling as short as possible and physically
located away from high speed digital cabling and high voltage switching lines.
I/O Connections and the Front Panel
The following information is provided to assist the user/integrator in installing and interconnecting a
VM32PAFF board into a VME system.
Figure 4-2
shows the layout of the VM32PAFF front panel. The following sections provide detailed
information about connectors, pinouts, and cabling. There are no front panel indicators or controls on the
VM32PAFF.
