V5C Technical Manual
2-4
Plug your adapter into the keyed PS2 connector on the front panel, then plug the
keyboard and mouse into the adapter before power is applied. Plugging and
unplugging the keyboard while power is applied is not recommended and can
cause a software failure or damage to the keyboard and/or on-board circuitry.
Video Monitor
Any VGA-compatible video monitor can be used initially for display output.
The 15-pin front panel connector is fully compatible with the VGA standard
connector and pinout. Plug your video monitor into the connector labeled ‘VIDEO’.
After making sure that you have installed the V5C properly into your VMEbus
backplane, apply power to your video monitor and then the VMEbus supply.
When the board is completely reset, the processor should begin executing initial
BIOS-resident routines.
After a few seconds, the V5C System BIOS banner will be displayed similar to
that shown in Figure 2-1.
If you have seen all the messages to this point, you can be confident that the
board is running properly and is ready to be installed and setup for your application.
You may now shut off power to the VMEbus chassis and begin board setup and
configuration as described in Chapter 3.
If the board did not perform as described above, some damage may have
occurred in shipping or the board is not installed or setup properly. Contact SBS
technical support as described in Chapter 9 for further instructions.
