3.1 Hardware Installation
The board described in this manual can be installed in the system slot of any VMEbus

connection.
To install the board, please proceed as follows:
• Ensure that the safety requirements indicated above are observed

panel secured to the mainboard (see appropriate documentation for configuration)
• Ensure that the flash/DRAM memory piggyback and the DIP flash/EPROM is prop-
erly installed, and that the boot memory selection jumper is set correctly

size, boot device, system clock and on-board resets ???)
• Install the board in an appropriate slot and engage the retaining mechanism
• Connect external interfacing cables to the board as required
• Ensure that the board and interfacing cables are properly secured.
