GEMVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use

Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC).

Board products are tested in a representative system to show compliance with the above 

mentioned requirements. A proper installation in a CE-marked system will maintain the required 

EMC/safety performance.

In accordance with European Community directives, a “Declaration of Conformity” has been made 

and is on file within the European Union. The “Declaration of Conformity” is available on request. 

Please contact your sales representative.

The product has been designed to meet the directive on the restriction of the use of certain 

hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC.

The MVME51005E Single Board Computer Installation and Use provides the information you will need

to install and configure your MVME51005E Single Board Computer. It provides specific preparation 

and installation information and data applicable to the board. The MVME51005E will hereafter be 

referred to as the MVME5100.

The MVME5100 is a high-performance VME single board computer featuring the PowerPlus II 

architecture with a choice of processors–either the MPC7410 with AltiVec™ technology for 

algorithmic intensive computations or the low-power MPC750.

As of the printing date of this manual, the MVME5100 is available in the configurations shown

below. Note: all models of the MVME5100 are available with either VME Scanbe front panel or IEEE

1101 compatible front panel handles
