2.2 Installation
To install the Digital Alpha VME 4 module, perform the following steps:
1. Select two adjacent slots in your VME backplane for the Digital Alpha VME
4 module. If you are installing a PMC I/O companion card, you will need to
select three adjacent slots. Refer to Section 2.2.1 for instructions on how to
install the PMC I/O companion card.
Caution
Static electricity can destroy the circuits on the modules in your Digital
Alpha VME 4 kit. When you handle modules wear the antistatic
wriststrap with the wire clipped to the frame of your VME chassis. Also,
place the modules on top of the conductive plastic bags they came in while
you work.
Note
There must be sufficient space on the back of the VME backplane slot or
slots selected to install the primary breakout module. The Digital Alpha
VME 4 primary breakout module requires a minimum of 38.1 mm (1.5
in).
Figure 2–2 and Figure 2–3 show the layout of Digital Alpha VME 4 and the
I/O modules.
