Hardware Configuration
This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need to be performed prior to installing the board in a chassis.
To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME6100, you may need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.
Most options on the MVME6100 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made by setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.
Jumpers/switches are used to control those options that are not software configurable. These jumper settings are described further on in this section. If you are resetting the board jumpers from their default settings, it is important to verify that all settings are reset properly.
MVME6100 Preparation
Figure 1-1 illustrates the placement of the jumpers, headers, connectors, switches, and various other components on the MVME6100. There are several manually configurable headers on the MVME6100 and their settings are shown in Table 1-2. Each header’s default setting is enclosed in brackets. For pin assignments on the MVME6100, refer to Chapter 5, Pin Assignments.
