Installation Instructions

This section covers:

❏ Installation of IndustryPacks (IPs) on the MVME172LX

❏ Installation of the MVME172LX in a VME chassis

❏ System considerations relevant to the installation. Ensure that

EPROM devices are installed as needed. Ensure that all header

jumpers are configured as desired.

IP Installation on the MVME172LX

Up to two IP modules may be installed on the MVME172LX. Install the

IPs on the MVME172LX as follows:

1. Each IP module has two 50-pin connectors that plug into two

corresponding 50-pin connectors on the MVME172LX: J5/J6,

J7/J8. See Figure 2-1 for the MVME172LX connector locations.

– Orient the IP module(s) so that the tapered connector shells mate

properly. Plug IP_a into connectors J5 and J6; plug IP_b into J7

and J8. If a double-sized IP is used, plug IP_ab into J5, J6, J7,

and J8.

2. Two additional 50-pin connectors (J3 and J4) are provided behind

the MVME172LX front panel for external cabling connections to

the IP modules. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the

signals on the cabling connectors and the signals on the associated

IP connectors (i.e., J4 has the same IP_a signals as J5; J3 has the

same IP_b signals as J7).

– Connect user-supplied 50-pin cables to J3 and J4 as needed.

Because of the varying requirements for each different kind of

IP, Motorola does not supply these cables.

– Bring the IP cables out the narrow slot in the MVME172LX

front panel and attach them to the appropriate external

equipment, depending on the nature of the particular IP(s).
