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 violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the equipment. Motorola, Inc. assumes no liability for the
customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
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 the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in
such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep Away From Live Circuits.
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or other
qualified maintenance personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component replacement
or any internal adjustment. Do not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and
discharge circuits before touching them.
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, avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. Handling of a CRT should be done only by
qualified maintenance personnel using approved safety mask and gloves.
Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, 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 safety
features are maintained.

Unpack the equipment from the shipping carton. Refer to the packing list
and verify that all items are present. Save the packing material for storing
and reshipping of equipment.
!
Caution
Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge
can damage circuits.
ESD Precautions
This section applies to all hardware installations you may perform that
involve the MVME162FX board.
Motorola strongly recommends the use of an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when you install or upgrade the board. Electronic
components can be extremely sensitive to ESD. After removing the board
from the chassis or from its protective wrapper, place the board flat on a
grounded, static-free surface, component side up. Do not slide the board
over any surface.
If no ESD station is available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores). Place
the strap around your wrist and attach the grounding end (usually a piece
of copper foil or an alligator clip) to an electrical ground. An electrical
ground can be a piece of metal that literally runs into the ground (such as
an unpainted metal pipe) or a metal part of a groundedelectrical appliance.
An appliance is grounded if it has a three-prong plug and is plugged into a
three-prong grounded outlet. You cannot use the chassis in which you are
installing the MVME162FX itself as a ground, because the enclosure is
unplugged while you work on it.

Warning
Turn the system’s power off before you perform these
procedures. Failure to turn the power off before opening the
enclosure can result in personal injury or damage to the
equipment. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are
present in the chassis. Hazardous voltages may be present on
power switch terminals even when the power switch is off.
Never operate the system with the cover removed. Always
replace the cover before powering up the system.
Preparing the Board
To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the
MVME162FX, you may need to reconfigure hardware to some extent
before installing the module.
Most options on the MVME162FX are under software control: By setting
bits in control registers after installing the module in a system, you can
modify its configuration. (The MVME162FX registers are described in
Chapter 3 under ENV - Set Environment, and/or in the MVME162FX
EmbeddedControllerProgrammer’sReferenceGuideaslistedin“Related
Documentation” in Appendix E.)
Some options, though, are not software-programmable. Such options are
controlled through physical installation or removal of header jumpers or
interface modules on the base board.
