Hardware Preparation and Installation
MVME8100 / MVME8110 Installation and Use (6806800P25G) 43
The MVME8100 ENP4 version only supports rugged conduction cooled PMC/XMC modules
(see VITA 20-2001 for conduction cooled PMC for mechanical definition.
Follow these steps to install a PMC/XMC module onto the MVME8100 / MVME8110 board.
Installation Procedure
Read all notices and follow these steps to install a PMC/XMC on the baseboard.
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the strap to the chassis as
a ground. Make sure that it is securely fastened throughout the procedure.
2. If the PMC/XMC has a front filler panel, remove the PMC/XMC filler plate from the
front panel cut-out.
3. Remove the two rear stand-offs from the PMC/XMC. The MVME8100 /MVME8110
heat frame has built-in rear stand-offs.
Logic Ground to Chassis Ground Isolation
The MVME8100 / MVME8110 heat frames are isolated from the board logic ground.
Installing a PMC or XMC module which has mounting locations connected to the module
logic ground will result in a short between chassis ground and the MVME8100 / MVME8110
logic ground.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal can damage circuits or
shorten their life.
Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an
ESD-safe environment.
Product Damage
Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage to module
components.
Before installing or removing additional devices or modules, read the documentation that
came with the product.
