2.7Completing the Installation

The MVME7100 is designed to operate as an application-specific compute blade or an intelligent I/O board/carrier. It can be used in any slot in a VME chassis. When the MVME7100 is installed in a chassis, you are ready to connect peripherals and apply power to the board.

Figure 3-1 on page 47 and Figure 5-1 on page 75 show the locations of the various connectors on the MVME7100 and MVME7216E.

Product Damage

RJ-45 connectors on modules are either twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE) or E1/T1/J1 network interfaces. Connecting an E1/T1/J1 line to an Ethernet connector may damage your system.

zMake sure that TPE connectors near your working area are clearly marked as network connectors.

zVerify that the length of an electric cable connected to a TPE bushing does not exceed 100 meters.

zMake sure the TPE bushing of the system is connected only to safety extra low

voltage circuits (SELV circuits).

If in doubt, ask your system administrator.

The console settings for the MVME7100 are:

zEight bits per character

zOne stop bit per character

zParity disabled (no parity)

zBaud rate of 9600 baud

Verify that hardware is installed and the power/peripheral cables connected are appropriate for your system configuration.

Replace the chassis or system cover, reconnect the chassis to the AC or DC power source, and turn the equipment power on.
