Ethernet 2, PMC/SBC Mode, and P2 I/O Selection Headers
(J6, J7, J28, J32, J34, J97 – J110)
All of the headers described below are used in conjunction with each other
to select various modes of operation for 10/100BaseT Ethernet, PMC/SBC
mode, and P2 I/O mode.
Ethernet
Four 3-pin planar headers (J6, J7, J100, J101) and four 2-pin planar
headers (J34, J97, J98, J99) are for 10/100/BaseT Ethernet 2 selection.
Ethernet 1 is the Gigabit Ethernet port and is front panel only.
For J6, J100, J7 and J101, install jumpers across pins 2-3 on all four
headers for rear P2 Ethernet. For front-panel Ethernet, install jumpers
across pins 1-2 on all four headers.
Note
If the rear P2 Ethernet is selected by jumpers J6, J7, J100, and
J101, the Ethernet signals also connect to PMC 1 user I/O
connector J14. If a PMC card is plugged into PMC slot 1, there
may be a conflict between the I/O from the PMC card and the
rear Ethernet signals. This conflict does not occur with the
IPMC761 or IPMC712 modules.
For J34, J97, J98 and J99, no jumpers are installed for front-panel Ethernet.
For rear P2 Ethernet, install jumpers across pins 1-2 on all four headers
when in SBC/IPMC761 mode.
PMC/SBC Mode Selection
The MVME5500 is set at the factory for SBC/IPMC712 mode. The
SBC/IPMC761 mode should only be selected when using the IPMC761
module in conjunction with the MVME761 transition module.The PMC
mode should be selected when using PMC modules with specific user I/O
in conjunction with the corresponding transition module. PMC mode
should also be selected when using PrPMC modules.
Two 3-pin planar headers (J28, J32) are for PMC/SBC mode selection. For
PMC mode, install jumpers across pins 1-2 on both headers. For
SBC/IPMC761 mode, install jumpers across pins 2-3 on both headers. For
