Introduction

This chapter provides a brief description of the MVME2400-Series VME Processor Module, and instructions for preparing and installing the hardware.

In this manual, the name MVME240x refers to all models of the

MVME240x Description

The MVME2400-series VME processor module is a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) carrier board. It is based on the PowerPC™ 750 microprocessor, MPC750.

Two front panel cutouts provide access to PMC I/O. One double-width or two single-width PMCs can be installed directly on the MVME240x. Optionally, one or two PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine modules can be added to provide the capability of up to four additional PMC modules.

Two RJ45 connectors on the front panel provide the interface to 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and to a debug serial port.

The following list is of equipment that is appropriate for use in an

MVME240x system:

❏PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine module

❏Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards (PMC)s

❏VMEsystem enclosure

❏System console terminal

❏Disk drives (and/or other I/O) and controllers

❏Operating system (and/or application software)
