Overview
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Themis PMC/XMC Carrier Board. The PMC/XMC Car-
rier Board is an add-on expansion board for most Themis VME single-board computers,
and supports two (on the 2P2 model) or three (on the 2P3 model) PMC and XMC (if sup-
ported) plug-in modules.
This manual describes the following three Carrier Board models:
• 2P2 PMC Carrier Board
• 2P2 PMC/XMC Carrier Board
• 2P3 PMC Carrier Board
Before you begin, carefully read each of the procedures in this manual. Serious dam-
age can be caused by improper handling of the equipment.

Themis Computer
All multi-board systems are put together by Themis at the factory. The boards are
designed to be installed in a specific order (see the hardware manual for your sys-
tem; e.g., the USPIIe-USB, USPIIIi, et al.).
Note: All carrier boards are shipped with VME64-type injector/ejector handles. On
special order, Triple-E-type VME ejector handles can be installed (see Aand Bin Fig-
ure 1). For more information on these handles, refer to the Note and Figure A-2 on
page A-3.

Caution: Do not attempt to take apart and re-order the boards in your system, with-
out contacting Themis Support.

Table 2 defines the interfaces supported on each carrier board.
Check Configurations
When you first receive your carrier board, confirm that the solder-bead, jumper-pin,
and switch configurations are appropriate for your application. For a complete list-
ing of solder-bead, jumper-pin, and switch definitions, see the chapter corresponding
to your particular carrier board; i.e., 2P2 PMC, 2P2 PMC/XMC, or 2P3 PMC.
Solder-beads are set by Themis at the factory before shipping and should be changed
by Themis at the factory only.

Warning: You specify solder-bead preferences when you order your unit Since,
the solder beads are set by Themis at the factory, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER
SOLDER-BEAD CONFIGURATIONS! Attempting to alter a solder-bead config-
uration could seriously damage the carrier board. If you encounter a problem, con-
tact Themis Customer Support.

Overview
Check Voltage Keys
xv
Themis Computer
Check Voltage Keys
Each carrier board (as well as some Themis Baseboards) has two voltage-key
mounting holes: one 3.3V mounting hole and one 5V mounting hole (see the board
diagram in the chapter corresponding to your particular carrier board). Depending on
the solder bead configuration, a carrier board will support either a 3.3V or a 5V
PMC/XMC Module. A key installed in a 3.3.V hole means your carrier board is con-
figured to accept a 3.3V module. A key installed in a 5V hole means your carrier
board is configured to accept a 5V module.
If you attempt to install a 3.3V module into a carrier board that is configured with a
5V key, the absence of a 5V hole will prevent the module from properly seating into
its connector. The same is true if you try to install a 5V module into a carrier board
that is configured with a 3.3V key. Some PMC/XMC modules will operate with
either 3.3 volts or 5 volts, in which case these “universal” modules will have two
voltage-key mounting holes, to allow the passage of either 3.3V or 5V keys.
Intended Audience
This manual is written for Themis customers who have purchased a Themis Single-
Board Computer (e.g., USPIIe-Gb, USPIIIi, TA64, et al.), and wish to add carrier-
board capability.
Unpacking
Carrier boards are factory-installed and ship already assembled to your host com-
puter. Please refer to your system board’s hardware manual for unpacking instruc-
tions (e.g., USPIIe-Gb, USPIIIi, TA64, etc.).
In the event that a carrier board needs to be repaired or replaced, please observe the
following Caution when handling the board individually.
Note: A carrier board that is configured for 3.3 volts will only accept 3.3V (or
universal) modules in any of its module slots. A carrier board that is configured
for 5 volts will only accept 5V (or universal) modules.

Notes, Cautions, Warnings, and Sidebars
The following icons with accompanying formatted text are included in this docu-
ment for the reasons described:
Caution: Carrier boards contain statically sensitive components. Industry-standard
antistatic measures must be observed when removing the carrier boards from their
shipping containers and during any subsequent handling. A wrist strap provides
grounding for static electricity between your body and the chassis of the unit. Electric
current and voltage do not pass through the wrist strap.
Note: A note provides additional information that may be helpful in carrying out
the procedure or action being described.
Caution: A caution describes a procedure or action that may result in damage to
the equipment. This may involve—but is not restricted to—heavy equipment or
sharp objects. To reduce the risk, follow the instructions accompanying this sym-
bol.
Warning: A warning describes a procedure or action that may cause injury or death
to the operator. To reduce the risk, follow the instructions accompanying this sym-
bol.
Sidebar: A “sidebar” adds detail to the section within which it is placed,
but is not absolutely vital to the description or procedure.
