Caution
Inserting or removing modules while power is applied could result in
damage to module components.
!
Warning
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this
equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
2. Remove the chassis cover as instructed in the user’s manual for the
equipment.
3. Remove the filler panel from the card slot where you are going to
install the MVME172P4.
– If you intend to use the MVME172P4 as system controller, it
must occupy the leftmost card slot (slot 1). The system controller
must be in slot 1 to correctly initiate the bus-grant daisy-chain
and to ensure proper operation of the IACK daisy-chain driver.
– If you do not intend to use the MVME172P4 as system
controller, it can occupy any unused double-height card slot.
4. Slide the MVME172P4 into the selected card slot. Be sure the
module is seated properly in the P1 and P2 connectors on the
backplane. Do not damage or bend connector pins.
5. Secure the MVME172P4 in the chassis with the screws provided,
making good contact with the transverse mounting rails to minimize
RF emissions.
6. Install the MVME712 series transition module in the front or the
rear of the VME chassis. (To install an MVME712M, which has a
double-wide front panel, you may need to shift other modules in the
chassis.)
7. On the chassis backplane, remove the
INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE
(IACK) and
BUS GRANT
(BG) jumpers from the header for the card
slot occupied by the MVME172P4.
