Preparing and Installing the MVME2400-Series Module
1
The MVME240x board supports both front panel I/O and rear panel P2 I/O
through either PMC slot 1 or PMC slot 2. 64 pins of I/O from slot 1 and 46
pins of I/O from slot 2 are routed directly to P2.
VMEsystem Enclosure
Your MVME240x board must be installed in a VMEsystem chassis with
both P1 and P2 backplane connections. It requires a single slot, except
when PMCspan carrier boards are used. Allow one extra slot for each
PMCspan.
System Console Terminal
In normal operation, connection of a debug console terminal is required
only if you intend to use the MVME240x’s debug firmware, PPCBug,
interactively. An RJ45 connector is provided on the front panel of the
MVME240x for this purpose.
