MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38B)
1 Hardware Preparation and Installation

If you do not intend to use the MVME5100 as system controller, it can
occupy any unused card slot.
4. Slide the MVME5100 (and PMCspans if used) into the selected card slot(s). Verify that
the module or module(s) seated properly in the P1 and P2 connectors on the chassis
backplane. Do not damage or bend connector pins.
5. Secure the MVME5100 (and PMCspans if used) in the chassis with the screws in the
top and bottom of its front panel and verify proper contact with the transverse mounting
rails to minimize RF emissions.
Note
Some VME backplanes (such as those used in Emerson Modular Chassis systems)
have an auto-jumpering feature for automatic propagation of the IACK and BG signals.
The step immediately below does not apply to such backplane designs.
6. On the chassis backplane, remove the
INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE (IACK) and BUS
GRANT
(BG) jumpers from the header for the card slots occupied by the MVME5100
and any PMCspan modules.
7. If you intend to use PPCbug interactively, connect the terminal that is to be used as the
PPCbug system console to the
DEBUG port on the front panel of the MVME5100.
Note
In normal operation, the host CPU controls MVME5100 operation via the VMEbus
Universe registers.
8. Replace the chassis or system cover(s) and cable peripherals to the panel connectors
as required.
9. Reconnect the system to the AC or DC power source and turn the system power on.
10. The MVME5100’s green
CPU LED indicates activity as a set of confidence tests is run,
and the debugger prompt
PPC6-Bug> appears.
