MVME172LX Installation

With EPROMs and IP modules installed and headers properly configured,

proceed as follows to install the MVME172LX in the VME chassis:

1. Turn all equipment power OFF and disconnect the power cable

from the AC power source.

Caution

Inserting or removing modules while power is applied could

result in damage to module components.

Warning

Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in

this equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing,

and adjusting.

2. Remove the chassis cover as instructed in the user’s manual for the

equipment.

3. Remove the filler panel from the card slot where you are going to

install the MVME172LX.

– If you intend to use the MVME172LX as system controller, it

must occupy the leftmost card slot (slot 1). The system controller

must be in slot 1 to correctly initiate the bus-grant daisy-chain

and to ensure proper operation of the IACK daisy-chain driver.

– If you do not intend to use the MVME172LX as system

controller, it can occupy any unused double-height card slot.

4. Slide the MVME172LX into the selected card slot. Be sure the

module is seated properly in the P1 and P2 connectors on the

backplane. Do not damage or bend connector pins.

5. Secure the MVME172LX in the chassis with the screws provided,

making good contact with the transverse mounting rails to minimize

RF emissions.
