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-PCI8022 interface kit. If you ordered the VXI-PCI8022 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.
