PMC Modules

PMC modules mount on top of the MVME5100. Perform the following

steps to install a PMC module on your MVME5100.

Warning

Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this

equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.

Caution

Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage

to module components. Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry, static

discharge can damage these circuits.

Note This procedure assumes that you have read the user’s manual that

came with your PMCs.

1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD

strap to an electrical ground. Note that the system chassis may not

be grounded if it is unplugged. The ESD strap must be secured to

your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure.

2. Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power

off and remove the AC cord or DC power lines from the system.

Remove chassis or system cover(s) as necessary for access to the

VME modules.

3. If the MVME5100 has already been installed in a VMEbus card slot,

carefully remove it as shown in Figure 1-2 and place it with

connectors P1and P2 facing you.

4. Remove the filler plate(s) from the front panel of the MVME5100.

5. Align the PMC module’s mating connectors to the MVME5100’s

mating connectors and press firmly into place.

6. Insert the appropriate number of Phillips screws (typically 4) from

the bottom of the MVME5100 into the standoffs on the PMC

module and tighten the screws (refer to Figure 1-3).
