Motorola MVME166D2, MVME166IG/D2 manual Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

The MVME166 is to be installed in the front of the chassis. The MVME712 module(s) is/are to be installed either in the front or the rear of the chassis, depending on the I/O option you select:

Through the front panel I/O connector via cable to the MVME712-10 transition module, which may be mounted either in the forward card cage alongside the MVME166 (recommended) or in the rear transition module area.

Through the front panel I/O and SCSI connectors via cable to the MVME712-06/07/09 I/O distribution board set, which likewise may be mounted either in the forward card cage alongside the MVME166 or in the rear transition module area.

If you opt for front mounting of the transition module(s), the MVME166 should be located at their left if possible to make use of the cabling slots provided in its front panel. You may need to shift the placement of other modules in the forward card cage to allow space for the double- or triple- wide MVME166/MVME712 combination.

d.Carefully slide the MVME166 module into the card slot. Be sure the module is seated properly in the P1 and P2 connectors on the backplane. Do not damage or bend connector pins. Fasten the module in the chassis with the screws provided, making good contact with the transverse mounting rails to minimize RFI emissions.

e.On the chassis backplane, remove the IACK and BG jumpers from the header for the card slot occupied by the MVME166.

f.Connect the transition module(s) and specified cable(s) to the MVME166 (at the I/O connector on the MVME166 front panel, according to configuration) to mate with (optional) terminals or other peripherals at the serial ports, parallel port, SCSI ports, and LAN Ethernet port. Connect the peripherals to the cable(s).

Refer to the manuals listed in Related Documentation in Chapter 1 for information on installing the MVME712 series transition modules. (Some connection diagrams are in the MVME166/MVME167/MVME187 Single Board Computers Programmer’s Reference Guide.) Some cables you require may not be provided with the MVME712 series modules; you may need to fabricate or otherwise provide those cables. (Motorola recommends using shielded

cables for all connections to peripherals to minimize radiation.) Connect the peripherals to the cable(s).

g.Install any other required VMEmodules in the system.
