Hardware Installation
The following sections discuss the installation of mezzanine cards on the
MCP750 base board, the installation of the complete MCP750 assembly
into a CompactPCI chassis, and the system considerations relevant to
installation. Before installing the MCP750, ensure that the serial ports and
all jumpers are properly configured.
In most cases, the mezzanine card (RAM300 ECC DRAM module) is
already in place on the base board. The user-configured jumpers are
accessible with the mezzanines installed.
Should it be necessary to install mezzanines on the base board, refer to the
following sections for a description of the installation procedure.
ESD Precautions
Use ESD
Wrist Strap
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic
components such as disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules
are extremely sensitive to ESD. After removing a component from the
system or its protective wrapper, place the component on a grounded,
static-free surface. In handling a board, place it component side up. Do not
slide the component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available locally) attached to an
unpainted metal part of the system chassis.
Compact FLASH Memory Card Installation
The Compact FLASH memory card mounts on the MCP750 base board,
under the RAM300 memory mezzanine. To upgrade or install a Compact
FLASH memory card, refer to
Figure 1-2
and proceed as follows:
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the strap
to the chassis (for proper grounding). The ESD strap must be
