How to Use This Manual
The Themis XV1 (see Figure 1 for the single-slot model) is a high-performance
6RU VME-bus computer with an Intel®quad-core Xeon™ processor that operates at
2.13 GHz. It supports a variety of I/O from the front panel—including gigabit Ether-
net, USB 2.0, SATA Revision 1.0a (at speeds up to 3.0 Gb/s), serial, and SVGA
graphics—as well as from the VME P2 backplane connector—including PS/2
KB/mouse and HDA stereo audio, with additional access to USB 2.0, SATA, serial,
and SVGA graphics. Connection to signals on the VME P2 backplane is made
through a Themis paddle board.
Up to 8 GB of DDR2 SDRAM memory (4 GB for model XV1/1; see Table 1, page
xv)—as well as a standard PMC/XMC Module card (64 bit @66 MHz)—can be
installed on two models of the XV1. Operating systems include Solaris 10 (v10),
Linux (Red Hat Enterprise 5.3), and Microsoft Windows (Vista and 2008 Server).
This XV1 Hardware Manual [P/N 116704-022] describes models of the XV1 pres-
ently available (see Table 1; also see Figure 2 and Figure 3 on page xiv).

Themis Computer values its customer comments and opinions; therefore, a “Reader
Comment Card” is located at the end of this manual for your use. Please take the
time to fill out this card with any comments concerning Themis products and ser-
vices, and return it to Themis Computer. Your comments may also be forwarded to
Themis by sending email to [email protected].
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
XV1 Models
The XV1 has a total of three models (see Table 1).
Users may obtain greater graphics capability than the onboard XV1 graphics by
installing a TGA-7000 PMC graphics accelerator in a XV1 PMC/XMC module slot.
Onboard XV1 graphics must be disabled first, however, through jumper-pin JP7.
Intended Audience
This manual is written for system integrators and programmers. It contains all neces-
sary information for installation and configuration of the XV1 and assumes the
BIOS program code is installed in the system Flash memory. If you intend to operate
the XV1 with an operating system other than Solaris, Linux, or Windows, such as
VxWorks or some other real-time kernel, please consult the appropriate documenta-
tion supplements accompanying your OS or kernel software.
Although all specific hardware features are described in the Hardware manual, pro-
grammers wishing to write code for the XV1 without the benefit of an operating sys-
tem or real-time kernel will require additional data sheets.
The reader should have a working knowledge of VMEbus and PCI local bus stan-
dards, as well as Ethernet and SATA specifications.

Caution: Since the original Themis 2P2 PMC/XMC Carrier Board or 2P2/2P3
PMC Carrier Boards physically cannot be installed onto the XV1, a new
PMC/XMC Carrier Board is presently being designed, but not yet released.

Unpacking
Remove the XV1 and accessories from the shipping container and check the con-
tents against the packing list. Be certain to observe industry-standard ESD protection
procedures when handling static-sensitive components. The package should include
all elements of your order.
Please report any shipping discrepancies to the Themis Computer Customer Support
group immediately: [e-mail] or 1-510-252-0870.
Caution: The XV1 contains statically sensitive components. Industry-standard
antistatic measures must be observed when removing the XV1 from its shipping
container and during any subsequent handling. A wrist strap provides grounding for
static electricity between your body and the chassis of the system unit.

Themis Computer
Chapter Overview
The chapters and appendices of this manual are briefly outlined as follows:
• Chapter 1, "XV1 Installation" provides instructions on the installation and con-
figuration of the XV1 for your particular environment and application.
• Chapter 2, "XV1 Features and Specifications" provides a brief overview of the
XV1, along with its System, Environmental, and Power specifications.
• Chapter 3, "Hardware Overview" describes the major components installed on
the XV1.
• Appendix A, “Connector Pinouts and Signal Descriptions” provides part num-
bers, pinouts, and signal descriptions for the I/O connectors on the XV1 Base-
board and Paddle Board.
• Appendix B, "Jumper Pins and Solder Beads" provides a detailed description and
default configuration of each of the jumper pins and solder beads on the XV1, as
well as diagrams illustrating their location on the PCB.
• Appendix C, “Front-Panel I/O Connections and LEDs” illustrates the front
panels for all model configurations of the XV1.
• Appendix D, “Board Component and Connector Diagrams” provides descrip-
tions of the major components and connectors of the XV1 Baseboard and Pad-
dle Board.
• Appendix E, “VME Slot Configurations” illustrates the various model configu-
rations used by the XV1.
Note: The information contained in Chapter 1 is mandatory to understand and
configure the correct operation of the XV1. This chapter should be read in its en-
tirety.
Note: Appendix B should be consulted to verify that the jumper pins and solder
beads on your system are set to meet your application requirements.
