Procedure
This procedure assumes that you have read the user’s manual that came with your PMCs.
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to an
electrical ground. Note that the system chassis may not be grounded if it is
unplugged. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground throughout
the procedure.
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 MVME5500 has already been installed in a VMEbus card slot, carefully
remove it as shown in Figure 1-17 and place it with connectors P1 and P2 facing
you. Remove the filler plate(s) from the front panel of the MVME5500.
4. Insert the appropriate number of Phillips screws (typically 4) from the bottom of the
MVME5500 into the standoffs on the PMC module and tighten the screws (refer to
Figure 1-15).
5. Align the PMC module’s mating connectors to the MVME5500’s mating connectors
and press firmly into place.
