Configuring the Hardware
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 MVME5500, you may
need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.
need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.
Most options on the MVME5500 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made
by setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.
by setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.
Jumpers and switches are used to control those options that are not software configurable.
These settings are described further on in this section. If you are resetting the board jumpers
or switches from their default settings, it is important to verify that all settings are reset properly.

ESD
Emerson strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
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 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 electronics stores) that is attached to an
active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is
unplugged.
