Chapter 2: Configuration and Installation

If the stake pins are on the rear of the backplane, the most common location is in the

middle of the J1 connector as shown in Figure 2-4. The connector may have wire-wrap

tails on all pins, or just on the bus-grant and IAC pins.

Stake pins (front or rear) can also be located adjacent to the slot being jumpered as shown

in Figure 2-5. Typically, the stake pins are located between the slot being jumpered and the

next lower-numbered slot (For example, jumpers for Slot 6 would be located adjacent to

Slot 6 between Slots 5 and 6).

Consult your VME chassis reference manual or contact the chassis manufacturer if you are

unsure where to jumper your particular system.

EPC-8A Insertion

The EPC-8A must be installed onto a subplane that fits between the EPC-8A and the

VMEbus backplane. Subplanes are discussed in more detail in Appendix E.
