2.Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power off and remove the AC cord or DC power lines from the system. Remove chassis or system cover(s) as necessary for access to the VME modules.
3.If the MVME5100 has already been installed in a VMEbus card slot, carefully remove it as shown in Figure
4.Remove the filler plate(s) from the front panel of the MVME5100.
5.Align the PMC module’s mating connectors to the MVME5100’s mating connectors and press firmly into place.
6.Insert the appropriate number of Phillips screws (typically 4) from the bottom of the MVME5100 into the standoffs on the PMC module and tighten the screws (refer to Figure
