Caution
Note If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier’s agent be present
during the unpacking and inspection of the equipment.
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage circuits.
Motorola 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.
Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage to module
components.

Warning
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this equipment. Use
extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
Hardware Configuration
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 MVME3100, you may
need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.
Most options on the MVME3100 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made by
setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.
Jumpers/switches are used to control those options that are not software configurable. These
jumper settings are described further on in this section. If you are resetting the board jumpers
from their default settings, it is important to verify that all settings are reset properly.
MVME3100 Layout
Figure 1-1 on page 4 illustrates the placement of the jumpers, headers, connectors, switches,
and various other components on the MVME3100.
There are two switch blocks which have user-selectable settings. Refer to Table 1-2, Table 1-3,
and Tab l e 1 -4 for switch settings. There is one switch on the MVME721. Refer to Table 1-5 and
Table 1-6 for switch settings.

Geographical Address Switch (S3)
The TSi148 VMEbus Status register provides the VMEbus geographical address of the
MVME3100. This switch reflects the inverted states of the geographical address signals.
Applications not using the 5-row backplane can use the geographical address switch to assign
a geographical address.
The onboard PMC sites may be configured to support 3.3V or 5.0V I/O PMC modules. To
support 3.3V or 5.0V I/O PMC modules, both PMC I/O keying pins must be installed in the
holes. If both keying pins are not in the same location or if the keying pins are not installed, the
PMC sites will not function. Note that setting the PMC I/O voltage to 5.0V forces the PMC sites
to operate in PCI mode instead of PCI-X mode. The default factory configuration is for 3.3V
PMC I/O voltage.
RTM SEEPROM Address Switch (S1)
A 4-position SMT configuration switch is located on the RTM to set the device address of the
RTM serial EEPROM device. The switch settings are defined in the following table.

■On powering up, the MVME3100 brings up the MOTLoad prompt, MVME3100>
Switches and Indicators
The MVME3100 board provides a single push button switch that provides both abort and reset
(ABT/RST) functions. When the switch is pressed for less than five seconds, an abort interrupt
is generated to the processor. If the switch is held for more than five seconds, a board hard reset
is generated. The board hard reset will reset the MPC8540, local PCI/PCI-X buses, Ethernet
PHYs, serial ports, Flash devices, and PLD(s). If the MVME3100 is configured as the VME
system controller, the VME bus and local TSi148 reset input are also reset.
The MVME3100 has four front-panel indicators. The following table describes these indicators:
