RAM500 Memory Expansion Module

 

 

5.With standoffs installed in the three mounting holes on the RAM500 module, align the standoffs and the P1 connector on the module with the three holes on the J7 or J28 connector on the CPCI-6020 host board and press the two connectors together until they are firmly seated in place.

6.(Optional step) If a second RAM500 module is being used, align the top connector on the bottom RAM500 module with the bottom connector on the top RAM500 module and press the two connectors together until the connectors are seated in place.

7.Insert the three short Phillips screws through the holes at the corners of the RAM500 and screw them into the standoffs.

8.Turn the entire assembly over, and fasten the three nuts provided to the standoff posts on the bottom of the CPCI-6020 host board.

9.Reinstall the CPCI-6020 assembly in its proper card slot. Be sure the host board is well seated in the backplane connectors. Do not damage or bend connector pins.

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

6.4.1SROM

The RAM500 memory expansion module contains a single +3.3 V, 256 x 8, Serial EEPROM device (AT24C02). The Serial EEPROM provides Serial Presence Detect (SPD) storage of the module memory subsystem configuration. The RAM500 SPD is software addressable by a unique address as follows: The first RAM500 attached to the host board has its SPD addressable at $AA. The second RAM500 attached to the host board has its SPD addressable at $AC. This dynamic address relocation of the RAM500 SPD shall be done using the bottom- side connector signal A1_SPD and A0_SPD.
