Installing the MVME230x Hardware

The following paragraphs discuss installing PMCs onto the
MVME230x, installing PMCspan modules onto the MVME230x,
installing the MVME230x into a VME chassis, and connecting an
optional system console terminal.

Taking ESD Precautions

Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist

strap and a conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a
system. Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer
boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). After removing the component
from the system or its protective wrapper, place the component flat

on a grounded, static-free surface (and in the case of a board,
component side up). Do not slide the component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting
from ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at
electronics stores) that is attached to an unpainted metal part of the
system chassis.

PMCs

PCI mezzanine card (PMC) modules mount on top of the
MVME230x module, and/or on a PMCspan. Refer to Figure 1-3 and
perform the following steps to install a PMC on your MVME230x
module. This procedure assumes that you have read the userÕs
manual that came with your PMCs.
Ð Eight bits per character
Ð One stop bit per character
Ð Parity disabled (no parity)
Ð Baud rate = 9600 baud (default baud rate of the port at
power-up); after power-up, you can reconfigure the baud
rate with PPCBugÕs PF command
