MVME3100 Installation and Use (V3100A/IH1)

Warning

Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this equipment. Use
extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.

Hardware Configuration

This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need to be performed
prior to installing the board in a chassis.

To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME3100, you may
need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.

Most options on the MVME3100 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made by
setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.

Jumpers/switches are used to control those options that are not software configurable. These
jumper settings are described further on in this section. If you are resetting the board jumpers
from their default settings, it is important to verify that all settings are reset properly.
