Hardware Preparation and Installation

With EPROMs and IPs installed and headers properly configured, 
proceed as follows to install the MVME162LX in the VME chassis:

1. Turn all equipment power OFF and disconnect the power 

cable from the AC power source.

Inserting or removing modules while power is applied 
could result in damage to module components.

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

2. Remove the chassis cover as instructed in the user's manual 

for the equipment.

3. Remove the filler panel from the card slot where you are 

going to install the MVME162LX.

РIf you intend to use the MVME162LX as system controller, 

it must occupy the leftmost card slot (slot 1). The system 
controller must be in slot 1 to correctly initiate the bus-
grant daisy-chain and to ensure proper operation of the 
IACK daisy-chain driver.

РIf you do not intend to use the MVME162LX as system 

controller, it can occupy any unused double-height card 
slot.

4. Slide the MVME162LX into the selected card slot. Be sure the 

module is seated properly in the P1 and P2 connectors on the 
backplane. Do not damage or bend connector pins.

5. Secure the MVME162LX in the chassis with the screws 

provided, making good contact with the transverse mounting 
rails to minimize RF emissions.
