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

transfers

Power cord

Ethernet and serial cables

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.

Page 2 Remove any filler panel that might fill that slot. Install the top and bottom edge of the MVME6100 into the guides of the chassis. Only use injector handles for board insertion to avoid damage/deformation to the front panel and/or PCB. Deformation of the front panel can cause an electrical short or other board malfunction.
Page 3 Connecting The Serial Cable When the MVME6100 is installed in the chassis, you are ready to connect the serial cable, if required. Use the DB9-to-RJ45 adapter supplied in your kit. The following table shows the pinouts for the DB9 female-to-RJ45 adapter assembly.
