General Information
Introduction
The manual is separated into the following chapters.
Chapter 1 - General Information. Describes the different adapters.
Chapter 2 - Installation/Removal Instructions. This chapter shows how
to install/remove B-Size VXIbus modules into/from the HP E1403C or
HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module, and how to install/remove the adapter
module into a C-Size VXIbus Mainframe.
Chapter3 -Usingthe Adapters. This chaptershows how touse the adapter
modules. It includes a block diagram for both the HP E1403C and
HP E1407A Adapter Modules. The chapter also includes, for the
HP E1407A Adapter Module, instructions on how to use and install the J2
Connector Cable, how to select the direction (to or from the mainframe’s
backplane) of the trigger signals on theECL and TTL trigger lines, and how
to select unbuffered or buffered SUMBUS connections. Connector pinout
diagrams for both the HP E1403C and HP E1407A are also provided.
Appendix A - Specifications. This appendix details specifications for the
HP E1403C and HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module.
C-Size Adapter Description
The HP E1403C and HP E1407A Adapter Modules allow an A- or B-Size
VMEbus/VXIbus module to connect to a C-Size VXIbus Mainframe. The
regular adapters connect a single slot VMEbus/VXIbus module to the
mainframe. Option 10 connects two-slot modules to the mainframe
(however, it only connects the module to the P1 and/or P2 connector of only
one slot). The following gives the features of the adapters.
HP E1403C Adapter
Description Use this adapter to make buffered connections between an A-size or B-size
module’s J1 connector and the mainframe’s P1 connector. The adapter has
the following features:
•Mounts with the VMEbus/VXIbus module’s front panel flush with the
front of the adapter.
•Provides direct access to the VMEbus/VXIbus module’s front panel
I/O connections.
•Provides connections to the J1 connector with pin-to-pin compatibility
to the mainframe’s P1 connector.

10 General Information Chapter 1
•Meets VMEbus driving and loading specifications.
•Provides proper timing for data Transfer Acknowledgment (DTACK)
and Interrupt Signals (IRQ).
•Provides connectivity for HP B-size modules or any P1-only VXIbus
slave module (Bus Master signals are not provided. These include:
BBSY*, BLCR*, BR0*, BR1*, BR2*, BR3*, SERCLK, SERDAT.)
HP E1407A Adapter
Description Use this adapter to make buffered connections between an A-size or B-size
module’s J1 connector and the mainframe’s P1 connector, and buffered
connections between aB-size module’s J2 connector and the mainframe’s P2
connector. The adapter has the following features:
•Mounts with the VMEbus/VXIbus module’s front panel flush with the
front of the adapter.
•Provides direct access to the VMEbus/VXIbus module’s front panel
I/O connections.
•Provides connections to the J1 connector with pin-to-pin compatibility
to the mainframe’s P1 connector.
•Provides direct connections to the J2 connector with pin-to-pin
compatibility to the mainframe’s P2 connector.
•Provides buffered data, address, and trigger lines (either ECL or TTL).
•Provides direct SUMBUS connections, or provides fused±12V power
supply connections to add user provided circuitry (op-amps, for
example) for buffered SUMBUS connections (jumper selectable).
•Provides access to the pins on the outer rows of the J2 connector for
VME modules. These pins may be isolated from the backplane.
•Meets VMEbus driving and loading specifications.
•Provides proper timing for data Transfer Acknowledgment (DTACK)
and Interrupt Signals (IRQ).
•Provides connectivity for HP B-size modules or any P1-only VXIbus
slave module (Bus Master signals are not provided. These include:
BBSY*, BLCR*, BR0*, BR1*, BR2*, BR3*, SERCLK, SERDAT.)

Installation/Removal Instructions 11Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Installation/Removal Instructions
This chapter shows how to install/remove B-sizeVXIbus modules into/from
the HP E1403C or HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module, and how to
install/remove the adapter module into a C-Size VXIbus Mainframe.
Note The procedures in this chapter shows installation/removal of the Adapter
Module into/from the HP E1401A High Power Mainframe. The
procedures for other mainframes are similar to these procedures.
Preparing for Installation
•Be sure to set the logical address of the module to be installed into the
adapter to the correct address (see the module manual).
•Be sure to use clean handling and anti-static handling of the module.
•Be sure there are no external connections to the modules.
Installing A-Size VMEbus Modules (HP E1403C Only)
Install A-Size VMEbus Modules only in the HP E1403C Adapter Module.
Use the following B-Size Module installation procedure to install an A-Size
Module into the adapter module.

12 Installation/Removal Instructions Chapter 2
Installing an Adapter Module with a B-Size VXIbus
Module
The procedure starting on the nextpage shows how to install an HP E1403C
or HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module into an HP E1401A Mainframe.
(Theinstallationproceduresforothermainframesissimilar.) Theprocedure
then shows how to install a B-Size VXIbus Module into the adapter module.
Note During power-up, the resource manager recognizes a module in the slot
with the HP E1403C or HP E1407A Adapter Module installed with or
without a B-Size module installed in the adapter module. Thus, to prevent
any error generation, be sure a B-Size module is installed in the adapter
module before power-up.
