Transition Modules and Adapter Boards Overview
The MVME187 supports the MVME712-12, MVME712-13, 
MVME712M, MVME712A, MVME712AM, and MVME712B 
transition modules (referred to in this manual as MVME712X, 
unless separately specified). 
Note
Other modules in the system may have to be moved to 
allow space for the MVME712M which has a double-
wide front panel.
MVME712X transition modules provide configuration headers and 
industry-standard connectors for internal and external I/O devices. 
The I/O on the MVME187 is connected to the VMEbus P2 
connector. 
The MVME712X transition module is connected to the 
MVME187 through cables and a P2 adapter board as shown 
in 
Note
Some cable(s) are not provided with the MVME712X 
module(s), and therefore must be made or provided by 
the user. (Motorola recommends using shielded cables 
for all connections to peripherals to minimize 
radiation.)
