Emerson MVME55006E Manuel D’Utilisation

This procedure assumes that you have read the user’s manual that came with your PMCs.

1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to an 

electrical ground. Note that the system chassis may not be grounded if it is 
unplugged. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground throughout 
the procedure.

2. Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power off and remove 

the AC cord or DC power lines from the system. Remove chassis or system cover(s) 
as necessary for access to the VME modules.

3. If the MVME5500 has already been installed in a VMEbus card slot, carefully 

remove it as shown in

you. Remove the filler plate(s) from the front panel of the MVME5500.

4. Insert the appropriate number of Phillips screws (typically 4) from the bottom of the 

MVME5500 into the standoffs on the PMC module and tighten the screws (refer to
