VME-MXI-2 Configuration

and Installation

This chapter contains the instructions to configure and install the

VME-MXI-2 module. This chapter applies only if you ordered the

VME MXI-2 kit. If you ordered the VXI MXI-2 kit, you should refer

to Chapter 3, VXI-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation.

Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage several components on your VME-MXI-2

module. To avoid such damage in handling the module, touch the antistatic plastic package

to a metal part of your VMEbus chassis before removing the VME-MXI-2 from the

package.

Configure the VME-MXI-2

This section describes how to configure the following options on the

VME-MXI-2:

• VMEbus A16 base address

• VME-MXI-2 intermodule signaling

• MXIbus termination

• Configuration EEPROM

• Onboard DRAM

The VME-MXI-2 automatically detects if it is located in the first slot of

the chassis to perform the VMEbus System Controller functions. It is not

necessary to configure the VME-MXI-2 System Controller option. The

module can be installed in any slot of a VMEbus chassis.

Figure 4-1 shows the VME-MXI-2. The drawing shows the location and

factory-default settings of the configuration switches and jumpers on the

module.
