Hardware Preparation and Installation
Multiple Module Cage Configuration
Multiple MVME187s may be configured into a single VME card cage. In general, hardware multiprocessor features are supported.
GCSR Location Monitor Register
Other MPUs on the VMEbus can interrupt, disable, communicate with and determine the operational status of the RISC processor(s). One register of the GCSR set includes four bits which function as location monitors to allow one MVME187 processor to broadcast a signal to other MVME187 processors, if any. All eight GCSR registers are accessible from any local processor as well as from the VMEbus.
Ethernet LAN (+12 Vdc) Fuse
The MVME187 provides +12 Vdc power to the Ethernet LAN transceiver interface through a
