Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair
of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
could result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which Emerson is aware. You,
as the user of the product, should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the
safe operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
Ground the Instrument.
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be connected to an electrical ground.
If the equipment is supplied with a three-conductor AC power cable, the power cable must be plugged into
an approved three-contact electrical outlet, with the grounding wire (green/yellow) reliably connected to an
electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable meet
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards and local electrical regulatory codes.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
Do not operate the equipment in any explosive atmosphere such as in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment could result in an explosion and cause
injury or damage.
Keep Away From Live Circuits Inside the Equipment.
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or other
qualified service personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component
replacement or any internal adjustment. Service personnel should not replace components with power cable
connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To
avoid injuries, such personnel should always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching
components.
Use Caution When Exposing or Handling a CRT.
Breakage of a Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To
prevent CRT implosion, do not handle the CRT and avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment.
Handling of a CRT should be done only by qualified service personnel using approved safety mask and
gloves.
Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment.
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of the equipment. Contact your local
Emerson representative for service and repair to ensure that all safety features are maintained.
Observe Warnings in Manual.
Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout this manual.
Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed. You should also employ all other safety precautions
which you deem necessary for the operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
Warning
To prevent serious injury or death from dangerous voltages, use
extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting this
equipment and its components.

Flammability
All Emerson PWBs (printed wiring boards) are manufactured with a flammability rating of 94V-
0 by UL-recognized manufacturers.
EMI Caution
!
Caution
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate electromagnetic energy. It may cause
or be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if not installed and used with
adequate EMI protection.
Lithium Battery Caution
This product contains a lithium battery to power the clock and calendar circuitry. Only properly
trained service personnel should remove or install lithium batteries.
!
Caution
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace battery only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Dispose of
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Attention
!
Il y a danger d’explosion s’il y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie. Remplacer
uniquement avec une batterie du même type ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par
le constructeur. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions
du fabricant.
Vorsicht
!
Explosionsgefahr bei unsachgemäßem Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch
denselben oder einen vom Hersteller empfohlenen Typ. Entsorgung gebrauchter
Batterien nach Angaben des Herstellers.

CTRL
represents the Control key. Execute control characters by pressing
the Ctrl key and the letter simultaneously, for example, Ctrl-d.
Terminology
A character precedes a data or address parameter to specify the numeric format, as follows (if
not specified, the format is hexadecimal):
An asterisk (*) following a signal name for signals that are level significant denotes that the
signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (*) following a signal name for signals that are edge significant denotes that the
actions initiated by that signal occur on high to low transition.
In this manual, assertion and negation are used to specify forcing a signal to a particular state.
In particular, assertion and assert refer to a signal that is active or true; negation and negate
indicate a signal that is inactive or false. These terms are used independently of the voltage
level (high or low) that they represent. Data and address sizes are defined as follows:
0x Specifies a hexadecimal number
% Specifies a binary number
& Specifies a decimal number
Byte 8 bits, numbered 0 through 7, with bit 0 being the least significant.
Half word 16 bits, numbered 0 through 15, with bit 0 being the least
significant.
Word 32 bits, numbered 0 through 31, with bit 0 being the least
significant.
Double word 64 bits, numbered 0 through 63, with bit 0 being the least
significant.

1Hardware Preparation and Installation
Introduction
This chapter provides information on hardware preparation and installation for the MVME5100
Series of Single Board Computers.
Note Unless otherwise specified, the designation “MVME5100” refers to all models of the
MVME5100-series Single Board Computers.
Getting Started
The following subsections include information helpful in preparing your equipment. It includes
and overview of the MVME5100, any equipment needed to complete the installation, and
unpacking instructions.
Overview and Equipment Requirements
The MVME5100 interfaces to a VMEbus system via its P1 and P2 connectors and contains two
IEEE 1386.1 PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Slots. The PMC Slots are 64-bit and support both
front and rear I/O.
Additionally, the MVME5100 is user configurable by setting on-board jumpers. Two I/O modes
are possible: PMC mode or SBC mode (also called 761 or IPMC mode). The SBC mode uses
the IPMC712 I/O PMC and the MVME712M Transiton Module, or the IPMC761 I/O PMC and
the MVME761 Transition Module. The SBC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME761
transition card and the P2 adapter card (excluding PMC I/O routing) used on the
MVME2600/2700 product. This mode is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers and
by attaching an IPMC761 PMC in PMC slot 1. Secondary Ethernet is configured to the rear.
PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME2300/MVME2400 and is accomplished by
simply configuring the on-board jumpers.
The following equipment list is appropriate for use in an MVME5100 system:
❏PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine module (mates with MVME5100)
❏Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards (PMCs) (installed on
an MVME5100 board)
❏RAM500 memory mezzanine modules (installed on an MVME5100 board)
❏VME system enclosure
❏System console terminal
❏Disk drives (and/or other I/O) and controllers

❏Operating system (and/or application software)
Unpacking Instructions
Caution
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge can damage these
circuits.
Note If the shipping carton(s) is/are damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier's agent
be present during the unpacking and inspection of the equipment.
Use ESD
Wrist Strap
Emerson 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 on a grounded, static-free, and adequately protected working
surface. Do not slide the component over any surface. In the case of a Printed
Circuit Board (PCB), place the board with the component side facing up.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available locally) that is attached to an
active electrical ground.
Note A system chassis may not be a suitable grounding source if it is unplugged.
