Hardware Preparation and Installation

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides startup and safety instructions related to this product, and 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 MVME4100ET consists of the following along with the base board:
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 MVME4100ET base board
to the P2 connector.
Up to two optional XMCspan cards.
The following table lists the tasks that you need to do before you can use this board. Read this entire chapter, including all Cautions and Warnings, before you begin.

2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Board

Read all notices and cautions prior to unpacking the product.
Damage of Circuits Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal can damage circuits or shorten their life. Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an ESD-safe environment.
26
Shipment Inspection
inspect the shipment as follows:
1. Verify that you have received all items of your shipment.
2. Check for damage and report any damage or differences to customer service.
3. Remove the desiccant bag shipped together with the board and dispose of it according to your country’s legislation.
The product is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any items are missing, contact customer service immediately.

2.3 Requirements

Make sure that the board, when operated in your particular system configuration, meets the requirements specified in the next sections.

2.3.1 Environmental Requirements

The following table lists the currently available specifications for the environmental characteristics of the MVME4100ET. A complete functional description of the MVME4100ET base board is available in Chapter 4, Functional Description.
Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air circulating around the board and not to the component temperature.

Characteristics Operating
Cooling Method Force Air
Operating Temperature -40C to +71C
Storage Temperature -50C to +100C
Temperature Transition Time Operational temperature transition rate
0.5c/minute
Vibration Swept sine: 1.0 g from 5.0 to 200 Hz
Sweep rate: 0.25 octaves/minute
Humidity Designed to operate up to 100% relative
humidity, Non condensing
The RTC field removable battery should be removed, if MVME4100ET has to be stored beyond its operational temperature range.

27
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 table below provides an estimate of the typical and maximum power required.
Table 2-3 Power Requirements
Board Variant Power
MVME4100ET-0171 Typical: 18 W at +5 V
Maximum: 22 W at +5 V
MVME4100ET-0173 Typical: 18 W at +5 V
Maximum: 22 W at +5 V
The following table shows the power available when the MVME4100ET 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.

2.3.3 Thermal Requirements

The MVME4100ET module requires a minimum air flow of 14 CFM uniformly distributed across the board, with the airflow traveling from the heat sink to the PMC2 site, when operating at a 71°C (160 °F) ambient temperature.

2.3.4 Thermally Significant Components

The following table summarizes components that exhibit significant temperature rises. These are the components that should be monitored in order to assess thermal performance. The table also supplies the component reference designator and the maximum allowable operating temperature.
You can find components on the board by their reference designators as shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. Versions of the board that are not fully populated may not contain some of these components.
The preferred measurement location for a component may be junction or case as specified in the below table. Junction temperature refers to the temperature measured by an on-chip thermal device. Case temperature refers to the temperature at the top, center surface of the component.
