Overview
GE’s V7768/V7769* are single board computers (SBCs) in a dual-slot, passively
cooled, VME Eurocard form factor.
®
The V7768* is a full featured Intel
the V7769* is a full featured Intel Core 2 Duo-based SBC. The V7768/V7769 utilize
the advanced technology of Intel’s 945GM chipset and the ICH7-M I/O Controller
Hub. The 945GM chipset runs on a 533 MHz front-side bus with the Celeron M
processor and a 667 MHz front-side bus with the Core 2 Duo processor.
The V7768/V7769 are compliant with the VMEbus Specification VITA 1-1994 and
feature a transparent PCI-to-VME bridge, allowing your board to function as a
system controller or peripheral CPU in multi-CPU systems.
The V7768 is a single-slot board, and the V7769 is a dual-slot board. The V7769
has the same functionality as the V7768 and also connects to the ACC-0623*
(which will be referred to as the mezzanine board throughout this manual),
making it a dual-slot board. Because the functionality is so similar, this manual
will refer to both boards (V7768/V7769) throughout unless the material is
referring to the V7768 or V7769 only.

Procedure
Warnings
To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and system cabinet must be connected to
an electrical ground. A three-conductor AC power cable should be used. The
power cable must either be plugged into an approved three-contact electrical
outlet or used with a three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding
wire (green) firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power
outlet.
Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation
of any electrical system in such an environment constitutes a definite safety
hazard.
Operating personnel must not remove product covers. Component replacement
and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do
not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid
injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the
product to GE for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Warnings, such as the example below, precede only potentially dangerous
procedures throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must
be followed.
WARNING
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this system.
Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting.

1 • Installation and Setup
This chapter describes the hardware jumper settings, connector descriptions,
installation, system setup and operation of the V7768/V7769.
1.1 Unpacking Procedures
Any precautions found in the shipping container should be observed. All items
should be carefully unpacked and thoroughly inspected for damage that might
have occurred during shipment. The board(s) should be checked for broken
components, damaged printed circuit board(s), heat damage and other visible
contamination. All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the
carrier and a complete report sent to GE Customer Care along with a request for
advice concerning the disposition of the damaged item(s).
CAUTION
Some of the components assembled on GE products may be
sensitive to electrostatic discharge and damage may occur on
boards that are subjected to a high energy electrostatic field. When
the board is placed on a bench for configuring, etc., it is suggested
that conductive material be inserted under the board to provide a
conductive shunt. Unused boards should be stored in the same
protective boxes in which they were shipped.
1.2 Hardware Setup
The V7768/V7769 are factory populated with user-specified options as part of the
V7768/V7769 ordering information. Contact Sales for ordering information at
1-800-322-3616. For option upgrades or for any type of repairs, contact customer
care to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA).
GE Customer Care is available at:
(1-800-433-2682), 1-780-401-7700.
Or, visit our website www.ge-ip.com.
The V7768/V7769 are tested for system operation and shipped with factoryinstalled header jumpers. The physical locations of the headers and connectors for
the SBC with the PMC option are illustrated in Figure 1-1 on page 21 and
Figure 1-1 on page 21. The definitions of the connectors, headers and switches are
included in Table 1-1 on page 22.
CAUTION
All jumpers marked User Configured in the following tables may be
changed or modified by the user. All jumpers marked Factory
Configured should not be modified by the user.
Care must be taken when making jumper modifications to ensure
against improper settings or connections. Improper settings may
result in damage to the unit.
Modifying any jumper not marked User Configured will void the
Warranty and may damage the unit.

1.3 Installation
The V7768/V7769 conform to the VME physical specification for a 6U board. The
V7768/V7769 can be used for the system controller or as a peripheral board. It can
be plugged directly into any standard chassis accepting either type of board.
The following steps describe the GE-recommended method for installation and
powerup of the V7768/V7769:
1. If a PMC module is to be used, connect it to the V7768/V7769 prior to board
installation (as shown in Figure 1-4 on page 28). Refer to the Product Manual for the PMC module for configuration and setup.
NOTE
Air flow as measured at the output side of the heatsink is to be
greater than 450 LFM.
2. Insert the V7768/V7769 into a VME chassis system controller or peripheral
slot. While ensuring that the board is properly aligned and oriented in the
supporting board guides, slide the board smoothly forward against the mat
ing connector. Use the ejector handles to firmly seat the board.
3. All needed peripherals can be accessed from the front panel or the rear I/O.
Each connector is clearly labeled, and detailed pinouts are in
Connector Pinouts.
Appendix A:
-
4. Connect a keyboard and mouse if the system has not been previously configured.
5. The V7768 features an optional CompactFlash Disk resident on the board.
Refer to
6. If an external drive module is installed, the BIOS Setup program must be
used to configure the drive types. See
to properly configure the system.
7. If a drive module is present, install the operating system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Chapter 3: Embedded PC/RTOS Features for setup details.
Appendix B: AMI BIOS Setup Utility
1.3.1 BIOS Setup
The V7768/V7769 has an onboard BIOS Setup program that controls many
configuration options. These options are saved in a special non-volatile, batterybacked memory chip and are collectively referred to as the board’s CMOS
Configuration. The CMOS configuration controls many details concerning the
behavior of the hardware from the moment power is applied.
Details of the V7768/V7769 BIOS setup program are included in
Appendix B: AMI BIOS Setup Utility.
