Primary PMCspan

To install a PMCspan-002 PCI expansion module on your MVME240x,
refer to Figure 1-4 and perform the following steps. This procedure
assumes that you have read the user’s manual that was furnished with the
PMCspan, and that you have installed the selected PMCs on the PMCspan
according to the instructions given in the PMCspan and PMC manuals.

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

strap to the chassis as a ground. The ESD strap must be secured to
your wrist and to ground while you are performing the installation
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 module card cage.

Caution

Inserting or removing modules with power applied may 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.

3. If the MVME240x has already been installed in the chassis,

carefully remove it from the VMEbus card slot and lay it flat, with
connectors P1 and P2 facing you.

Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge
can damage these circuits.
