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 Motorola 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
Motorola 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 Motorola 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.
!
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.

About This Manual
The MVME2300 Series VME Processor Module Installation and Use
manual provides information to install and use your MVME2300 Series
VME Processor Module (hereafter referred to as MVME2300 or module).
The module is based on an MPC603 and/or MPC604R PowerPC
microprocessor, and features dual PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) slots with
front panel and/or P2 I/O. The module is currently available in the
configurations listed in Chapter 1, Preparation and Installation.
The MVME2300 is compatible with the optional double-width or single-
width PCI Mezzanine Cards and with the PMCspan PCI expansion
mezzanine module. By utilizing the two onboard PMC slots and stacking
the PMCspan(s), the MVME2300 provides support for up to six PMCs.
This manual includes hardware preparation and installation instructions,
along with information on using the front panel, programming the board,
using the PPCBug debugging firmware, and other advanced debugger
topics. Appendices provide the module’s specifications and connector pin
assignments.
The information in this manual applies principally to the MVME2300. The
PMCspan and PMCs are described briefly in this manual and are fully
documented in a separate publication. Refer to the individual product
documentation for complete preparation and installation instructions.
These manuals are listed in Appendix D, Related Documentation.
This manual is intended for anyone who wants to design OEM systems,
supply additional capability to an existing compatible system, or work in a
lab environment for experimental purposes. A basic knowledge of
computers and digital logic is assumed.

Conventions Used in This Manual
The following typographical conventions are used in this document:
bold
is used for user input that you type just as it appears; it is also used for
commands, options and arguments to commands, and names of
programs, directories and files.
italic
is used for names of variables to which you assign values. Italic is also
used for comments in screen displays and examples, and to introduce
new terms.
courier
is used for system output (for example, screen displays, reports),
examples, and system prompts.
<Enter>, <Return> or <CR>
<CR> represents the carriage return or Enter key.
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):
$ Specifies a hexadecimal character
0x Specifies a hexadecimal number
% Specifies a binary number
& Specifies a decimal number

xix
An asterisk (*) following a signal name for signals that are levelsignificant
denotes that the signal is true or valid when the signal is low.
An asterisk (*) following a signal name for signals that are edgesignificant
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:
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.
