5.
With standoffs installed in the three mounting holes on the RAM500 module, align
the standoffs and the P1 connector on the module with the three holes on the J7 or
J28 connector on the CPCI-6020 host board and press the two connectors together
until they are firmly seated in place.
6.
(Optional step) If a second RAM500 module is being used, align the top connector
on the bottom RAM500 module with the bottom connector on the top RAM500
module and press the two connectors together until the connectors are seated in
place.
7.
Insert the three short Phillips screws through the holes at the corners of the
RAM500 and screw them into the standoffs.
8.
Turn the entire assembly over, and fasten the three nuts provided to the standoff
posts on the bottom of the CPCI-6020 host board.
9.
Reinstall the CPCI-6020 assembly in its proper card slot. Be sure the host board is
well seated in the backplane connectors. Do not damage or bend connector pins.
10.
Replace the chassis or system cover(s), reconnect the system to the AC or DC
power source and turn the equipment power on.

Features
The following table lists the features of the RAM500 memory expansion module:
6.4.1
SROM
The RAM500 memory expansion module contains a 3.3 V, 256 x 8, Serial EEPROM
device (AT24C02). The Serial EEPROM provides Serial Presence Detect (SPD) storage of the
module memory subsystem configuration. The RAM500 SPD is software addressable by a
unique address as follows: The first RAM500 attached to the host board has its SPD
addressable at $AA. The second RAM500 attached to the host board has its SPD addressable
at $AC. This dynamic address relocation of the RAM500 SPD shall be done using the bottom-
side connector signal A1_SPD and A0_SPD.
