Artesyn MVME51005E SBC Installation and Use (July 2014) - Manual (Page 33)

Hardware Preparation and Installation
MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A38D) 35
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 module.
3. Remove the filler panel from the VMEbus chassis card slot where you are going to install the
MVME5100. If you have installed one or more PMCspan PCI expansion modules onto your
MVME5100, you will need to remove filler panels from one additional card slot for each
PMCspan, above the card slot for the MVME5100.
 If you intend to use the MVME5100 as system controller, it must occupy the left-most
card slot (slot 1). The system controller must be in slot 1 to correctly initiate the bus-
grant daisy-chain and to ensure proper operation of the IACK daisy-chain driver.
 If you do not intend to use the MVME5100 as system controller, it can occupy any
unused card slot.
4. Slide the MVME5100 (and PMCspans if used) into the selected card slot(s). Verify that the
module or module(s) seated properly in the P1 and P2 connectors on the chassis
backplane. Do not damage or bend connector pins.
5. Secure the MVME5100 (and PMCspans if used) in the chassis with the screws in the top and
bottom of its front panel and verify proper contact with the transverse mounting rails to
minimize RF emissions.
Note: Some VME backplanes (such as those used in Artesyn Modular Chassis systems) have
an auto-jumpering feature for automatic propagation of the IACK and BG signals. The step
immediately below does not apply to such backplane designs.
6. On the chassis backplane, remove the INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE (IACK) and BUS GRANT
(BG) jumpers from the header for the card slots occupied by the MVME5100 and any
PMCspan modules.
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.
