‌Installation Procedure‌

‌Step 1: Mechanical Mounting‌

textCopy Code

1. Verify backplane compatibility: J1/J2 pinout per VME64x (DIN 41612)



2. Insert into VME crate slot:

   • Align ejector handles (P0 connector first)

   • Torque retention screws: 0.6 Nm ±0.1 Nm



3. Grounding: Connect chassis to VME P0 pin A1 (≤0.1Ω impedance)

‌Step 2: Power Requirements‌

‌Rail‌	‌Voltage‌	‌Current (Max)‌	‌Tolerance‌
+5V	5.1 VDC	15A	±5%
+3.3V	3.3 VDC	12A	±5%
+12V	12.0 VDC	1.5A	±10%
-12V	-12.0 VDC	0.3A	±10%

‌Note:‌ Use 18 AWG minimum for power cabling. Derate 2% per 500m ASL.

‌Firmware Initialization‌

bashCopy Code

# Access Debugger via serial (115200/8/N/1):  

MVME5500>> setenv auto-boot? false

MVME5500>> init-memory

MVME5500>> boot -f "vxWorks.bin"

‌Critical Operating Constraints‌

‌Thermal Management‌

Ambient Temp: 0°C to +55°C (forced airflow required)
Airflow: ≥300 LFM at heatsink (ΔT <10°C above ambient)
Heat Dissipation: 45W max (with dual PMC modules)

EMC Precautions‌

Install ferrites on I/O cables: TDK ZCAT2035-0930A
Maintain ≥50 mm clearance from RF sources
Shield unused PMC connectors (P/N 07-00321)

‌Diagnostic Indicators‌

‌LED‌	‌State‌	‌Status‌
PWR (Green)	Solid	Power OK
CPU (Yellow)	Blinking (1Hz)	Processor active
FAULT (Red)	Flashing	SDRAM ECC error
ETH1/2 (Amber)	On	Link established
