MVME6100 Starter Kit Getting Started Guide
Dear Customer:
This document provides information to help you start evaluation and development using the
MVME6100single-boardcomputer.Itdocumentsthehardware componentsof yourStarterKit,
how to assemble the components, and where to obtain Linux or VxWorks development
information
The following components are included in your kit:
❏VME 3U, 6 slot chassis with 5-row backplane, AC power, fans, alarm card
❏MVME6100 series board with 2eSST performance sustaining 300 MB/s data
transfers
❏Power cord
❏Ethernet and serial cables
ESD Precautions
Use ESD
Wrist Strap
Motorola 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 flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, inthe case of a board,
component side up). Do not slide the component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronic stores) that is
attached to an active electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be
grounded if it is unplugged.

System Assembly
The following paragraphs briefly describe the steps required to assemble the components of
your MVME6100 Starter Kit.
Installing the MVME6100 into the Chassis
Consult Chapter 1 of the MVME6100 Single-Board Computer Installation and Use manual at
http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature for configuration of the MVME6100 board.
Use the following steps to install the MVME6100 into your computer chassis:
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to an
electrical ground. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground
throughout the procedure.
2. Remove any filler panel that might fill that slot.
3. Install the top and bottom edge of the MVME6100 into the guides of the chassis.
!
Warning
Only use injector handles for board insertion to avoid damage/deformation to
the front panel and/or PCB. Deformation of the front panel can cause an
electrical short or other board malfunction.
4. Ensure that the levers of the two injector/ejectors are in the outward position.
5. Slide the MVME6100 into the chassis until resistance is felt.
6. Simultaneously move the injector/ejector levers in an upward direction.
7. Verify that the MVME6100 is properly seated and secure it to the chassis using
the two screws located adjacent to the injector/ejector levels.
8. Connect the appropriate cables to the MVME6100 as stated below.
To remove the board from the chassis, press the red locking tabs (IEEE handles only) and
reverse the procedure.

Populate the chassis according to the rules of the VITA 1.1 Specification. Refer to
http://www.vita.com for information.
Connecting The Serial Cable
When the MVME6100 is installed in the chassis, you are ready to connect the serial cable, if
required. Use the DB9-to-RJ45 adapter supplied in your kit. The following table shows the
pinouts for the DB9 female-to-RJ45 adapter assembly.

Connecting The Ethernet Cable
You are now ready to attach the RJ45 Ethernet connector to your network, if required. Ensure
that you are connecting the cable to the port that you have configured the software to use.
Software Information
Depending on the development platform you are using, you can obtain the software and related
information at the following web sites:
