Motorola MVME6100 Getting Started Manual

MVME6100 Starter Kit Getting Started Guide
Dear Customer:
This document provides information to help you start evaluation and development using the
MVME6100 single-board computer. It documents the hardware components of your Starter Kit,
how to assemble the components, and where to obtain Linux or VxWorks development
information
The following components are included in your kit:
VME 3U, 6 slot chassis with 5-row backplane, AC power, fans, alarm card
MVME6100 series board with 2eSST performance sustaining 300 MB/s data

ESD Precautions
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
Use ESD
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 electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the
component from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the
Wrist Strap
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 electronic stores) that is
attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be
grounded if it is unplugged.
