1.7 Installation of SBC622 into Chassis
The SBC622 conforms to the VPX physical specification for a 6U board. The SBC622
can be configured as the system controller or as a peripheral board. It can be plugged
directly into any OpenVPX chassis conforming to a backplane profile compatible
with the payload profile of the SBC622. See Figure 1‐2 SBC622 in Chassis on
page 30.
CAUTION
Do not install or remove the board while power is applied.
The following steps describe the recommended method for installation and powerup
of the SBC622:
1. Make sure power to the equipment is off.
2. Connect a PMC or an XMC module to the SBC622 (if it is to be used) prior to
board installation. See 1.8 Installing or Removing a PMC Card on page 32.
Refer to the Product Manual for the XMC/PMC module for configuration and
setup.
NOTE
Air flow as measured at the output side of the heatsink is to be greater than 450 LFM.
3. Choose chassis slot.
If the SBC622 is to be the VPX system controller, choose the appropriately
marked VPX slot.
The SBC622 does not require jumpers for enabling/disabling the system
controller function.
4. Insert the SBC622 into a VPX chassis system controller or peripheral slot.
a. While ensuring that the board is properly aligned and oriented in the
supporting board guides, slide the board smoothly forward against the mating
connector.
b. Use the ejector handles (for air‐cooled options) to firmly seat the board.
5. Access all needed peripherals from the front panel or the rear I/O. Each
connector is clearly labeled. Detailed pinouts are in Appendix A: Connectors
and Pinouts.
6. Connect a keyboard and mouse if the system has not been previously
configured.
7. If an external drive module is installed, the BIOS Boot Setup Menu or F7 first
boot key may be used to select booting from the drive. If applicable, see
Appendix B.
8. Install the operating system according to the manufacturer's instructions, if a
drive module is present.
