Alone
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.

This chapter describes the unpacking procedure; hardware setup; connectors,
headers and switches; installation; system setup and operation of the V7865.
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 Intelligent Platforms Customer Care.
1.2 Handling Precaution
Electronic assemblies use devices that are sensitive to static discharge. Observe
anti-static procedures when handling these boards. All products should be in an
anti-static plastic bag or conductive foam for storage or shipment. Work at an
approved anti-static workstation when unpacking boards.
1.3 Hardware Setup
The V7865 is factory populated with user-specified options as part of the V7865
ordering information. For option upgrades or for any type of repairs, contact
customer care to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA).

The V7865 is tested for system operation and shipped with factory-installed
header jumpers. The physical locations of the jumpers and connectors for the SBC
with the PMC option are illustrated in Figure 1-1 on page 18. The definitions of
the connectors, headers and switches are included in Table 1-1 on page 19.
CAUTION
All jumpers marked
modified by the user. All jumpers marked
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
may damage the unit.
The BIOS has the capability of password protecting casual access to the unit’s CMOS set-up
screens. The CMOS Clear jumper allows the user to clear the password in the case of a forgotten
password.

The V7865 conforms to the VME physical specification for a single slot 6U
Eurocard (dual height). It can be plugged directly into any standard chassis
accepting this type of board.
CAUTION
Do not install or remove the board while power is applied.
The following steps describe the GE Intelligent Platforms recommended method
for V7865 installation and power-up:
1. Make sure power to the equipment is off.
2. Choose chassis slot. The V7865 must be attached to a P1/P2 VME backplane.
If the V7865 is to be the VME system controller, choose the first VME slot. If a
different board is the VME system controller, choose any slot except slot one.
The V7865 does not require jumpers for enabling/disabling the system
controller function.
3. For the Vita 41.3 option, the board must be installed into a Vita 41.3
compatible backplane.
NOTE
The V7865 should never be used with any of the 74xx boards/cabling from GE Intelligent Platforms,
except for the VME-7469, which can support SATA.
Air flow requirements as measured at output side of heatsink is to be greater than 400LFM.
4. Connect all needed peripherals to the front panel. Each connector is clearly
labeled on the front panel, and detailed pinouts are in Appendix A: Connec-tors and Pinouts. Minimally, a keyboard and a monitor are required if the
user has not previously configured the system.
5. Apply power to the system. Several messages are displayed on the screen,
including names, versions and copyright dates for the various BIOS modules
on the V7865.
6. The V7865 features an optional CompactFlash resident on the board. Refer to
Chapter 3 Embedded PC/RTOS Features for set up details.
7. If an external drive module is installed, the BIOS Setup program must be run
to configure the drive types. See Appendix B: AMI BIOS Setup Utility to
properly configure the system.
8. If a drive module is present, install the operating system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The V7865 requires +5 V from the VME backplane. Below are the voltage and
current requirements.
SupplyCurrent (Maximum)
+5 V9.6 A
The V7865 provides power to the PMC site in accordance with the PMC
specification. The maximum current provided on the +5 V supply is 1.5 A per
PMC site. The maximum current provided on the +3.3 V supply is 1.5 A per PMC
site.
The V7865 provides front-panel access to the PMC expansion site, the VGA
connector, the two GbE connectors, the manual reset switch, COM1 port, two USB
ports, the Mouse/Keyboard, and the status LEDs. A drawing of the V7865 front
panel is shown in Figure 1-5 on page 26. The front panel connectors and
indicators are labeled as follows:
• LAN1GbE connector
• LAN2GbE connector
• VGAVGA video connector
• RSTManual reset switch
• COM1COM port
• M/KCombination mouse/keyboard connector
• USBUSB connectors
• BPHT Status LEDs
The V7865 provides rear I/O support for VME with 2eSST 320 MByte/s, the
optional PMC I/O (Vita 35), DVI-D, two USB 2.0 ports, COM2 (RS232/RS422), and
two SATA drives. These signals are accessed by the use of a rear transition module
(RTM) such as the ACC-0602RC* or the ACC-0603RC*, which terminate the
signals into industry standard connectors. The front panel connectors, including
connector pinouts and orientation, for the V7865 are defined in Appendix A:
Connectors and Pinouts.
NOTE
RTMs may not support all available V7865 rear I/O mentioned above. RTM connections are defined
in the appropriate RTM Installation Guide. Contact Sales for compatible RTMs offered by GE
Intelligent Platforms.
1.7.2 LEDs
See Figure 1-5 on page 26 for a diagram of the Rugged Front Panel option.
Adjacent to the diagram are the definitions of the various LEDs on the front panel.
The connections and the LEDs are the same for the Standard Front Panel option,
which is shown in Figure 1-6 on page 27.
