Note
Some VME backplanes (e.g., those used in Motorola "Modular
Chassis" systems) have an autojumpering feature for automatic
propagation of the IACK and BG signals. Step 7 does not apply
to such backplane designs.
8. Connect the P2 Adapter Board or LCP2 Adapter Board and cable(s)
to MVME172P4 backplane connector P2. This provides a
connection point for terminals or other peripherals at the EIA-232-
D serial ports, SCSI ports, and LAN Ethernet port. For information
on installing the P2 or LCP2 Adapter Board and the MVME712
series transition module(s), refer to the corresponding user’s
manuals (the Programmer’s Reference Guide provides some
connection diagrams).
Note
If you intend to use the MVME172P4 with Port B in an EIA-
530 configuration or an EIA-485/EIA-422 configuration, do
not install the P2 or LCP2 Adapter Board and the MVME712
series transition module. They are incompatible with the
EIA-530 interface and the EIA-485/EIA-422 interface.
9. Connect the appropriate cable(s) to the panel connectors for the
serial ports, SCSI port, and LAN Ethernet port.
– Note that some cables are not provided with the MVME712
series transition module and must be made or purchased by the
user. (Motorola recommends shielded cable for all peripheral
connections to minimize radiation.)
10. Connect the peripheral(s) to the cable(s).
11. Install any other required VMEmodules in the system.
12. Replace the chassis cover.
13. Connect the power cable to the AC power source and turn the
equipment power ON.
