Hardware Preparation and Installation
1.1 Overview
The MVME3100 is a single-slot, single-board computer based on the MPC8540 PowerQUICC
III™ integrated processor. The MVME3100 provides serial ATA (sATA), USB 2.0, 2eSST VMEbus
interfaces, dual 64-bit/100 MHz PMC sites, up to 128MB of Flash, dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet,
one 10/100 Ethernet, and five serial ports. This board supports front and rear I/O and a single
SODIMM module for DDR memory. Access to rear I/O is available with the MVME721 rear
transition module (RTM).
Front-panel connectors on the MVME3100 board include: one RJ-45 connector for the Gigabit
Ethernet, one RJ-45 connector for the asynchronous serial port, one USB port with one type A
connector, one sATA port with one external sATA connector, and a combined reset and abort
switch.
Rear-panel connectors on the MVME721 board include: one RJ-45 connector for each of the
10/100 and 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernets and four RJ-45 connectors for the asynchronous
serial ports. The RTM also provides two planar connectors for one PIM with rear I/O.
