    VP11 VME Single Board Computer. Both boards are based on the same PCB. All further occurrences of the board’s names will be referred to as the VR11. Any further specification in this document referring to VR11 can be applied to VR11 and VP11 unless otherwise noted.

  • Page 20: Board Design

    Board Design The VR11 is a fully IBM-AT compatible stand-alone PC. It is equipped with many functions a conventional Personal Computer can only offer after the installation of several add-in cards. Extension boards can be connected via the VME interface. The minimal board size and the large number of I/Os and functions allow the VR11 to be used in many applications.

  • Page 27: Delivery Volume

    This chapter covers the suggested inspection and preparation considerations and background information necessary prior to using the VR11. Unpacking, initial inspection, and first-time operation of the VR11 are covered. Following the procedures given in the chapter is recommended, since they will verify proper operation after shipping and before the product is integrated into your system.

  • Page 28: Warning

    The discharge of static electricity, known as Electro Static Discharge or ESD, is a major cause of electronic component failure. The VR11 has been packed in a static-safe bag which protects the board from ESD while the board is in the bag.

  • Page 29: Initial Inspection

    Initial Inspection After unpacking the VR11, you should inspect it for visible damage that could have occurred during shipping or unpacking. If damage is observed (usually in the form of bent component leads or loose socketed components), contact GE Intelligent Platforms for additional instructions.

    CHAPTER 3 Installation Chapter Scope This chapter covers the installation of the VR11 VME Single Board Computer on a VME backplane and initial power-on operations. Installation preparation Use the following steps to install your GE Intelligent Platforms hardware. • Before installing or removing any board, please ensure that the system power and external supplies have been turned off.

  • Page 34: Advice On Vmebus Products

    Chain VMEbus backplane (order number: VBUSxxAD). Please read additional advisories within the manual. A board with system controller functionality must be fitted into slot 1 (for GE Intelligent Platforms products, see additional notes within the manual). The backplane must supply +3.3 V and +5 V.

  • Page 35: Video Monitor

    Any VGA-compatible video monitor can be used initially for display output. The VR11 offers front side access to the video signal. Video is also available via the P2 VME connector. In order to get access to these pins it is necessary to use the transition module VTM22.

  • Page 36: Figure 5: 6U Board Insertion Into Vmebus System Box

    Note: If the VR11 was ordered without video onboard, you can use an external video VME card or a video PMC module. Consult the technical descriptions of these boards for required voltage and power consumption in the system.

  • Page 37: Table 2: Bios Id Coding

    If the board does not perform as described above, some damage may have occurred in shipping or the board is not installed or setup properly. Contact GE Intelligent Platforms technical support as described in chapter 'Support, Service, and Warranty Information' for further instructions.

  • Page 39: Power Supply

    VR11. Power Supply All boards of the VR11 family require up to 50 Watts from the power supply. For exact values please check the current manual in chapter 8 'Specifications', but for rough data a current of up to 7 A at the 5 V rail and 12 A at the 3.3 V rail must be taken into consideration.

  • Page 40: Status Indicator, Postcode And Beeps

    Status indicator, Postcode and Beeps The VR11 family has a triple color LED at the front panel for a quick status indicator usage. The possible colors are red, orange or green and the LED can blink in different frequencies or be on continuously.

  • Page 41: Table 3: Boot Sequence

    Unexpected Resets Whenever the VR11 unexpectedly issues a reset and starts booting again, you may want to know the reset source. For this reason a set of special registers is implemented onboard. Every reset source set there a special bit and can be read in the next boot up.
