Hardware Preparation and Installation

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides startup and safety instructions related to this product, hardware preparation instruction that includes default switch settings. System considerations and installation instructions for the base board, PMC, and transition module are also described in this chapter.
A fully implemented MVME4100 consists of the base board plus:
Two single-wide or one double-wide PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) slot for added versatility.
One transition module for support of the mapped I/O from the MVME4100 base board to
the P2 connector.
Up to two optional XMCspan cards.
The following table lists the things you will need to do before you can use this board and tells you where to find the information you need to perform each step. Be sure to read this entire chapter, including all Caution and Warning notes, before you begin.

Hardware Preparation and Installation
Product Damage High humidity and condensation on the board surface causes short circuits. Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the board is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power.

2.3.2 Power Requirements

Up to 90 W (18 A at 5 V) of power can be supplied to the board in a 5-row backplane. 70 W (14 A at 5 V) can be supplied in a 3-row backplane. The board requires 18 W to 22 W (3.6 A to
4.4 A at 5 V) to operate. The remainder is available to the PMC site, but you have to make sure
to not exceed 10 A (33 W) on 3.3 V.
The next table provides an estimate of the typical and maximum power required.
Table 2-3 Power Requirements
Board Variant Power
MVME4100-0171 Typical: 18 W at +5 V
Maximum: 22 W at +5 V
MVME4100-0173 Typical: 18 W at +5 V
Maximum: 22 W at +5 V
The following table shows the power available when the MVME4100 is installed in either a 3­row or 5-row chassis and when PMCs are present.
Chassis Type Available Power Power With PMCs
3-Row 70 W maximum Below 70 W
5-Row 90 W maximum Below 90 W
1. Keep below power limit. Cooling limitations must be considered.
