MVME8100 / MVME8110 Installation and Use (6806800P25G) 34
2.3.3 Thermal Requirements
The MVME8100 / MVME8110 module requires a minimum air flow of 10 CFM uniformly
distributed across the board, with the airflow traveling in the direction from PMC/XMC 1 to
PMC/XMC 2, when operating at a 55°C (131°F) ambient temperature.
2.3.4 Thermally Significant Components
The chassis into which the MVME8100 / MVME8110 is installed must provide sufficient airflow
to maintain proper board operating temperature. The P5020 / P5010 processor temperature
should be monitored while the board is operational to ensure that the processor core
temperature does not exceed 100°C. The processor core temperature can be read using the
I2C sensor at address 0x4C on the processor I2C bus #1. For more information, refer MVME8100
/ MVME8110 Single Board Computer Programmer's Reference.
2.3.5 Equipment Requirements
The following equipment is recommended to complete an MVME8100 / MVME8110 system:
 VMEbus system enclosure
 System console terminal
 Operating system (and/or application software)
2.4 Configuring the Board
To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME8100 /
MVME8110, you may need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the
module.
The MVME8100 / MVME8110 provides software control over most options: by setting bits in
control registers after installing the module in a system, you can modify its configuration.
