4. Installation
This section describes how to install the VMOD-2 fitted with one or two piggybacks for use in
your VMEbus system. Before you proceed with this section please make sure that you have
configured all of the necessary VMOD-2 jumpers as described in the preceding section.
4.1 VMEbus Connection
Caution!
Before installing or removing any VMEbus boards always turn off the
power to the bus and any external peripherals.
Inserting or removing VMOD-2 modules while power is on could result in
damage to the VME module or peripherals interface.
Please refer to the Piggyback/-s user's manual/-s for details on installing/removing VMOD to/
from your VMEbus system.
4.2 Installing the VMOD-2
The VMOD-2 may be plugged into any free VMEbus slot position (other than slot 1) in your
VMEbus system.
Note: Check Piggybacks Fitting
(1/.) The connector at one end of the piggyback has less pins than that at
the other end.
(2/.) The piggyback ST2 has two-rows which are to fit the front two-rows
of the VMOD-2 26-pin, two-row interface socket BU2. Take care to ensure
the piggyback is in its correct position/orientation.
In addition to the mechanical retention/support provided by the two piggyback interface con-
nectors, the piggyback may (by customers with high vibration applications) be held to the
motherboard by screws and stand off pillars, since at the front end of the piggyback and at the
corresponding location on the VMOD-2, two holes per piggyback location, are provided for
this purpose.
4.3 Chronological Installation Procedure (VMOD-2)
1/. Inspect the 96 way VMEbus Interface Connector and front panel header (50-way con-
nector) for clean straight pins.
2/. Check the fitted piggybacks and desired VMOD-2 jumper settings suit your intended
application. i.e. jumper B16 "Set" (for 8 KByte block width) when using any 5230-xx pig-
gybacks.
