Preparation
protected working surface. Do not slide the component over any surface. In the case of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), place the board with the component side facing up.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available locally) that is attached to an active electrical ground.
Note A system chassis may not be a suitable grounding source if it is unplugged.
Preparation
This section includes subsections on hardware configuration that may need to be performed immediately before and after board installation. It includes a brief reminder on setting bits in control registers, setting jumpers for the appropriate configuration, and other VME data considerations.
Hardware Configuration
To produce the desired board configuration and to ensure proper operation of the MVME5100, it may be necessary to perform certain modifications before and after installation. The following paragraphs discuss the preparation of the MVME5100 hardware components prior to installing them into a chassis and connecting them.
The MVME5100 provides software control over most of its options by setting bits in control registers. After installing it in a system, you can modify its configuration. For additional information on the board’s control registers, refer to the MVME5100 Single Board Computer Programmer's Reference Guide listed in Appendix C, Related Documentation.
