Hardware Preparation and Installation

Installing Transition Modules and Adapter Boards

Connecting Peripherals

The MVME187 mates with (optional) terminals or other peripherals

at the EIA-232-D serial ports (marked SERIAL PORTS 1, 2, 3, and 4

on the MVME712X transition module), parallel port, SCSI ports,

and LAN Ethernet port, as shown in Figure 3-3 on page 3-22.

Note Some cable(s) are not provided with the MVME712X

module(s), and therefore are made or provided by the

user. (Motorola recommends using shielded cables for

all connections to peripherals to minimize radiation.)
