EMERSONMVME6100 Single Board Computer Installation and Use

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.

Inserting or removing modules with power applied may 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

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. Figure 1-1 illustrates the placement of the jumpers, headers, connectors, switches, and various other components on the MVME6100. There are several manually configurable headers on the MVME6100 and their settings are shown in Table 1-2. Each header’s default setting is enclosed in brackets. For pin assignments on the MVME6100, refer to Chapter 5, Pin Assignments. Items in brackets are factory default settings.

The MVME6100 is factory tested and shipped with the configuration described in the following 

sections

SCON Header (J7)

A 3-pin planar header allows the choice for auto/enable/disable SCON VME configuration. A 

jumper installed across pins 1 and 2 configures for SCON always enabled. A jumper installed 

across pins 2 and 3 configures for SCON disabled. No jumper installed configures for auto 

SCON

 PMC/IPMC Selection Headers (J10, J15 — J18, J25 — J28)

Nine 3-pin planar headers are for PMC/IPMC mode I/O selection for PMC slot 1. These nine 

headers can also be combined into one single header block where a block shunt can be used as 

a jumper.
