Installation
Section
1.1Determine Board Type
The Themis XV1 single-board computer is available in three model configurations,
as defined in Table 1 on page xv of the Preface chapter.
To determine your Baseboard type and configuration, check the white sticker
located near your Baseboard’s VME P2 connector. It contains information on board
type and revision, memory allocation, CPU speed, serial number, and Ethernet
addresses (either one or three). For example:
To install the XV1, a standard VME64 chassis with J1/J2 backplane (3-row or 5-row
connector) is required.
1.2Check Configurations
When you first receive the XV1, confirm that the jumper-pin and solder-bead configurations are appropriate for your application. Appendix B, ”Jumper Pins and Solder Beads” gives detailed information regarding jumper-pins and solder beads,
including default settings.
Solder-bead settings are set by Themis at the factory before shipping and should
only be changed by Themis at the factory.
Warning: Attempting to alter a solder-bead configuration could seriously damage
the XV1. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER SOLDER-BEAD CONFIGURATIONS. Instead, contact Themis to change any settings.
1.3Install the Paddle Board
Caution: Some pins on the P2 connector of the XV1 are used to provide a mandatory input supply voltage (either +12V or +5V) that is required to operate the XV1.
Therefore, the XV1 Paddle Card must be installed for operation of the XV1 unless
some other means of delivering power to these pins is devised.
The XV1 Paddle Board attaches to the rear of the P2 slot occupied by the XV1 Baseboard on the VME backplane (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-3).
The connections provided by the XV1 Paddle Board are described in Table 1-1 on
page 1-4. A pinout and signal description of each I/O connector of the Paddle Board
is given in Appendix A, “Connector Pinouts and Signal Descriptions”.

Jumper pins are found only on the top side of the XV1 system board and are
described in Table B-1 on page B-2. In Table B-1, an ON or Short jumper position
means the jumper is installed, shorting the pins and completing the circuit. OFF
means there is no jumper installed, hence the path between the pins is open, breaking
the circuit.
Figure B-1 on page B-3 shows the location of all jumpers on the XV1. In Figure
B-1, jumper pin 1 is identified with a square and a triangle.

B.2Factory-Configurable Solder Beads
B.2.1XV1 Solder Beads
Solder beads are found mainly on the bottom side of the XV1 system board, with
one solder bead (SB6) located on the top side. All solder beads are described in
Table B-3 on page B-6.
In Table B-3, Short means a solder bead is installed, creating an electrical path
between two contacts. Open means no solder bead is installed, hence the path
between the contacts is open.
B-4
Figure B-3, page B-7, shows the location of all bottom-side solder beads on the
XV1. The location of the top-side SB6 is shown in Figure B-1 on page B-3.
Remember that pin 1 is indicated on the board by a thick bar line.
Caution: When dealing with a 3-pin solder-bead switch, a solder bead will short
only one set of pins, either 1–2 or 2–3.
If a solder bead shorts more than 2 pins, call Themis Customer Support.
There are no solder beads on the XV1 Memory Module.

Front-Panel I/O Connections and LEDs
C.1Introduction
This appendix contains diagrams of all front panels (faceplates) for each possible
model configuration of the XV1. It is intended as a reference to I/O and monitoring
functions. See Table C-1 for a list of XV1 models.
Appendix
Caution: The PCI address of a PMC Module is not necessarily the same as the
PMC Module slot number.
A single-slot XV1 front panel measures 235-mm (9.25”) high by 20-mm
(0.78”) wide (with VME64-type handles) or 241-mm (9.5”) high by 20-mm
(0.78”) wide (with older Legacy-VME handles).

XV1 Hardware Manual
C.1.2Injector/Ejector Handles
The XV1 is equipped with two types of injector/ejector handles (see Figure C-1 on
page C-3):
• VME64-type handles (Elma, for example), which aid in both the insertion and
the extraction of the PC board into and out of the VME backplane connectors
• Legacy-VME handles, which aid only in the extraction of the PC board from
the VME backplane connectors
When a PCB board product such as the XV1 is shipped from Themis, VME64-type
handles will be installed unless the customer specifies a different handle such as the
Legacy-VME.
C.1.2.1 VME64-type Handles
When ordered, all Themis board products are shipped with VME64-type handles
unless otherwise specified. A multiple-slot system will be shipped with all handles
secured together by mating pins. One pin is inserted through two adjacent handles.
This assures that all boards will lock onto and release from the VME rack frame at
the same time.
On those occasions when the customer is upgrading and must add or replace a board
in the system, it is important to make sure that a mating pin is used to secure two
adjacent handles.
C.1.2.2 Legacy-VME Handles
When extracting a multiple-board system from the VME rack frame, it is important
to remember that—since there is no mating pin to hold handles together—each handle works independently from all other handles, hence the operator must extract the
system from the rack frame by carefully manipulating each handle in the same direction until the system is totally removed from the rack.
Caution: Removal of the EMI shield and insertion of a spine between mating front
panels is a factory procedure and not recommended in the field.

This section contains descriptive graphics of the front-panel I/O connections for
each XV1 model configuration listed in Table C-1 on page C-1 (see Figure C-3,
page C-4, through Figure C-5, page C-6).
C.2.1Multiple-I/O Connector
The multiple-I/O connector on the XV1 front panel supports a total of four different
types of I/O ports (see Figure C-3)—dual serial (COM1/COM2), single SATA3,
dual 2.0 USB0/USB1, and VGA graphics. To attach to each of these different ports,
a special multi-split connector cable must be connected to the multiple-I/O connector (see Figure C-2).
