ESD Precautions

Use E

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 damaged by ESD. After removing the component from the system

or its protective wrapper, place the component on a grounded and static-

free surface (and in the 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 locally) that is attached

to an unpainted metal part of the system chassis.

Installing PMC Adapters

PCI mezzanine card (PMC) adapters mount on the PMCspan. Install the

PMC adapter modules on the PMCspan prior to installing the PMCspan

onto the VME processor module. Refer to the installation instructions that

come with the PMC adapter for any prerequisites.

Note The PMCspan is keyed to accept only 5V PMC adapter

modules.

To install a PMC adapter, refer to Figure 2-1 and proceed as follows:

1. Position the PMCspan with the P1 and P2 connectors facing you.

Caution

Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry; static discharge

can damage these circuits.

2. Remove the PMC slot filler panel from the PMCspan front panel.
