MVME5100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use - Bustec

1Hardware Preparation andInstallation1IntroductionThis chapter provides information on hardware preparation andinstallation for the MVME5100 single board computer.NoteUnless otherwise specified, the designation “MVME5100” refersto all models of the MVME5100 Series single board computers.Getting StartedOverview and Equipment RequirementsThe MVME5100 interfaces to a VMEbus system via its P1 and P2connectors and contains two IEEE 1386.1 PCI mezzanine card (PMC)slots. The PMC slots are 64-bit and support both front and rear I/O.Additionally, the MVME5100 is user-configurable by setting on-boardjumpers. Two I/O modes are possible: PMC mode and SBC mode. TheSBC mode has two variants: IPMC761 and IPMC712. These variantsdepend on which IPMC module is being used. The SBC/IPMC761 utilizesan IPMC761 and the MVME761 transition module to provide 761-stylerear I/O capabilities. The SBC/IPMC712 utilizes an IPMC712 and theMVME712M transition module to provide 712-style rear I/O capabilities.The SBC mode is generally backwards compatible, depending on theIPMC and transition module pairing in use, with the equivalent transitionmodule and P2 adaptor card on the MVME2600/MVME2700 product line.This mode is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers and byattaching an IPMC7xx PMC in PMC slot 1 and configuring the secondaryEthernet port of the MVME5100 to the rear transition module. Throughoutthis manual SBC mode describes both variants, unless there is a specificdifference, and in those cases the variant is further identified as eitherSBC/IPMC761 or SBC/IPMC712.1-1
