When the SVM2608 is unpacked from its shipping carton, the contents should include the
following items:
(1) SVM2608 4 Channel 100 kSamples/s Analog-to-Digital Converter Module
(1) SVM2608 User’s Manual (this manual)
All components should be immediately inspected for damage upon receipt of the unit. Installation
instructions for the module are discussed in the following pages of this section.
The chassis the SVM2608 is installed in should be checked to ensure that it is capable of
providing adequate power and cooling. Once it is found that the chassis meets these specifications,
the SVM2608 should be examined. If the module is found to be in good condition, the base
address of the SVM2608 and the backplane jumpers of the chassis may be configured. After
setting the base address and chassis jumpers, the SVM2608 may be installed into an appropriate
6U VMEbus mainframe in any slot other than slot zero.

It is imperative that the chassis provide adequate power and cooling for this module. Referring to
the chassis operation manual, confirm that the power budget for the system (the chassis and all
modules installed therein) is not exceeded and that the cooling system can provide adequate
cooling.
It should be noted that if the chassis cannot provide adequate power to the module, the instrument
might not perform to specification or possibly not operate at all. In addition, if adequate cooling is
not provided, the reliability of the instrument will be jeopardized and permanent damage may
occur. Damage found to have occurred due to inadequate cooling could also void the warranty of
the module.
