1.2Introduction

The MVME5500 is a single-board computer based on the PowerPC MPC7457 processor and the Marvell GT-64260B host bridge with a dual PCI interface and memory controller. On-board payload includes two PMC slots, two SDRAM banks, an expansion connector for two additional banks of SDRAM, 8MB boot Flash ROM, one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, one 10/100 Ethernet port, 32MB expansion Flash ROM, two serial ports, NVRAM and a real-time clock.

The MVME5500 interfaces to a VMEbus system via its P1 and P2 connectors and contains two IEEE 1386.1 PCI mezzanine card (PMC) slots. The PMC slots are 64-bit and support both front and rear I/O.

Additionally, the MVME5500 is user-configurable by setting on-board jumpers. Two I/O modes are possible: PMC mode or SBC mode (also called 761 or IPMC mode). The SBC mode uses the IPMC712 I/O PMC and the MVME712M transition module, or the IPMC761 I/O PMC and the MVME761 transition module. The SBC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME761 transition module and the P2 adapter card (excluding PMC I/O routing) used on the MVME5100 product. This mode is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers and by attaching an IPMC761 PMC in PMC slot 1. Secondary Ethernet is configured to the rear.

PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME5100 and is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers.

1.3Getting Started

This section provides an overview of the steps necessary to install and power up the MVME5500 and a brief section on unpacking and ESD precautions.

Configuring the Hardware	Hardware Preparation and Installation

ESD

Emerson strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic 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.

Personal Injury or Death

Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.

1.6Configuring the Hardware

This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need to be performed prior to installing the board in a chassis.

To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME5500, you may need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.

Most options on the MVME5500 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made by setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.

Jumpers and switches are used to control those options that are not software configurable. These settings are described further on in this section. If you are resetting the board jumpers or switches from their default settings, it is important to verify that all settings are reset properly.

1.6.2Ethernet 2, PMC/SBC Mode, and P2 I/O Selection Headers (J6, J7, J28, J32, J34, J97 – J110)

All of the headers described below are used in conjunction with each other to select various modes of operation for 10/100BaseT Ethernet, PMC/SBC mode, and P2 I/O mode.

1.6.2.1Ethernet

Four 3-pin planar headers (J6, J7, J100, J101) and four 2-pin planar headers (J34, J97, J98, J99) are for 10/100/BaseT Ethernet 2 selection.

Ethernet 1 is the Gigabit Ethernet port and is front panel only.

20	MVME55006E Single-Board Computer Installation and Use (6806800A37D)

Ethernet 2, PMC/SBC Mode, and P2 I/O Selection Headers (J6, J7, J28, J32, J34, J97 – J110)	Hardware

For J6, J100, J7 and J101, install jumpers across pins 2-3 on all four headers for rear P2 Ethernet. For front-panel Ethernet, install jumpers across pins 1-2 on all four headers.

If the rear P2 Ethernet is selected by jumpers J6, J7, J100, and J101, the Ethernet signals also connect to PMC 1 user I/O connector J14. If a PMC card is plugged into PMC slot 1, there may be a conflict between the I/O from the PMC card and the rear Ethernet signals. This conflict does not occur with the IPMC761 or IPMC712 modules.

For J34, J97, J98 and J99, no jumpers are installed for front-panel Ethernet. For rear P2 Ethernet, install jumpers across pins 1-2 on all four headers when in SBC/IPMC761 mode.

1.6.2.2PMC/SBC Mode Selection

The MVME5500 is set at the factory for PMC mode. The SBC/IPMC761 mode should only be selected when using the IPMC761 module in conjunction with the MVME761 transition module.The PMC mode should be selected when using PMC modules with specific user I/O in conjunction with the corresponding transition module. PMC mode should also be selected when using PrPMC modules.

Two 3-pin planar headers (J28, J32) control the supply of +/- 12 volts to the P2 connector; one or both of these voltages are required by the MVME712 or MVME761 module when operating in SBC mode. For PMC mode, jumpers are installed across pins 1-2 on both headers. For SBC/IPMC761 mode, install jumpers across pins 2-3 on both headers. For SBC/IPMC712 mode, install a jumper across pins 2-3 for J32 and install a jumper across pins 1-2 for J28.

Product Damage

When J28 is configured for SBC/IPMC mode, –12V is supplied to P2 pin A30. If there is an incompatible board plugged into this P2 slot, damage may occur.

When J32 is configured for SBC/IPMC mode, +12V is supplied to P2 pin C7. If there is an incompatible board plugged into this P2 slot, damage may occur.

1.6.2.3P2 I/O Selection

Nine 3-pin planar headers (J102 –J110) are for P2 I/O selection. Jumpers are installed across pins 1-2 on all nine headers when in PMC mode. Install jumpers across pins 2-3 on all nine headers when in SBC/IPMC761 or SBC/IPMC712 mode to connect the extended SCSI signals to P2.
