Installing the Hardware

Transition Modules and Adapter Boards Overview

The MVME187 supports the MVME712-12, MVME712-13, MVME712M, MVME712A, MVME712AM, and MVME712B transition modules (referred to in this manual as MVME712X, unless separately specified).

Note Other modules in the system may have to be moved to allow space for the MVME712M which has a double- wide front panel.

MVME712X transition modules provide configuration headers and industry-standard connectors for internal and external I/O devices. The I/O on the MVME187 is connected to the VMEbus P2 connector.

The MVME712X transition module is connected to the MVME187 through cables and a P2 adapter board as shown in Figure 3-2 on page 3-18.

Note Some cable(s) are not provided with the MVME712X module(s), and therefore must be made or provided by the user. (Motorola recommends using shielded cables for all connections to peripherals to minimize radiation.)
