Chapter 1 – Introduction
The XVME-977 Hard Disk/Floppy Disk Module provides an easy way to integrate both
hard and floppy disk drives into a VMEbus system. Constructed for the industrial mar-
ket, where high levels of shock and vibration are the norm, the module is a single-slot
VME form factor disk drive with a 3.5-inch floppy drive and a 2.5-inch hard drive.
Compact and easy to install, the XVME-977 Hard Disk/Floppy Disk Module is an ideal
mass storage solution for a variety of VMEbus systems. This module is built to commu-
nicate with Xycom’s XVME-65x VMEbus PC/AT processors.
Power for the XVME-977 is provided by the P1 and P2 connectors. Signals are routed
through P2. Figure 1-1 illustrates this in a block diagram of the XVME-977.

Chapter 2 – Installation
This chapter describes how to install the XVME-977 Hard Disk/Floppy Disk Module
into the VMEbus backplane. It also provides information on connecting the XVME-977
to Xycom’s XVME-65x VMEbus PC/AT processor modules.
Installing into a VMEbus Card Cage
The XVME-977 occupies only one double-high VMEbus slot, and fits into any standard
6U VMEbus card cage. Like all of Xycom’s modules, the XVME-977 is designed to
comply with all electrical VMEbus backplane specifications. This module only draws
current from the +5 volt power supply.
Caution
Never attempt to install or remove any boards before turning
off power to the bus and all related external power supplies.
Before installing a module, determine and verify all connec-
tions to external devices or power supplies.
Figure Chapter 2 -1 depicts installation of the XVME-977 board.

Figure Chapter 2 -1. XVME-977 Installation

Chapter 2 – Installation
2-3
To install the XVME-977 in a card cage…
1. Turn off power to the chassis.
2. Connect the jumper cable from the CPU slot to the XVME-977 slot on the rear of the
P2 backplane, as shown in Figure Chapter 2 -1.
Technical Note
It should not be necessary to use excessive force or pressure
to engage the connectors. If the board does not connect prop-
erly with the backplane, remove the module and inspect all
connectors and guide slots for possible damage or obstruc-
tions.
3. Apply straightforward pressure to the handles on the front of the panel, until the
connectors are fully engaged and properly seated.
4. Once the board is properly seated, secure it to the chassis by tightening the machine
screws at the top and bottom of the XVME-977 board.
5. Turn on power to the unit.
Configuring the XVME-977
To set floppy and hard drive specifications…
1. Turn on power to the unit.
2. Press F2 to enter the Main Setup menu.
3. Using the arrow keys, move down the screen to the Diskette A: option and set it as
follows:
Diskette A: [1.44 MB, 3½"]
Diskette B: [Not Installed]
4. Move to the IDE Adapter 0 Master option, and press ENTER to display the IDE
Adapter Sub-menu.
5. Press ENTER to auto-configure the hard drive, or type in specific parameters. Use the
information printed on the label affixed to the hard drive. An example of the label in-
formation is shown below:
FIXED DISK:0 TYPE: USER CY920 HD10 ST17 LZ920 WP0
6. Press ESC after all changes have been made.
7. Once the specifications have been set, reboot the system. The operating system can
now be loaded. The hard drive is preformatted with a 1:1 interleave, so low-level
formatting is not required.
Installation and configuration of the XVME-977 is now complete.
