VMIVME-7455 I/O backplane

Description

The VMIVME-7455 receives and passes IDE signals by way of the P2 connector,
routed through the backplane from the following CPUs: VMIVME-7589 and
VMIVME-7589A. To utilize the P2 configuration, a backplane which supports I/ O
cabling from the rear must be used, along with a 64-conductor cable assembly (VMIC
Model Number VMIVME-VMXC-3), see Figure 4 below. Figure 5 on page 10 is an
illustration of the installation. The cable is supplied with the VMIVME-7455. Figure 4
shows the cable used with the VMIVME-7589, or the VMIVME-7589A.
When installing the VMIVME-7589, or the -7589A with the VMIVME-7455, and the
optional VMIVME-7452, the boards must be installed in consecutive slots. Under
certain conditions the system may require a longer cable, this cable is available as
(VMIC Model Number VMIVME-VMXC-7), see Figure 7 on page 12.
The P2 connection to the VMIVME-7589, or the VMIVME-7589A involves the
following board configuration:
1. Ensure that jumper J12 on the VMIVME-7589, or the VMIVME-7589A is
configured to route the signals to the P2 connector. A jumper shunt should be
installed on pins 2 and 3, to utilize the P2 connector. Refer to the Product
Manuals for the jumper configuration.
2. Insert the CPU into the desired slot.
3. Insert the VMIVME-7455 into the desired slot.
4. Install the 64-conductor cable assembly onto the rear of the backplane. The cable
must be connected to the rear I/O shrouded P2 connectors of both slots. One
occupied by the VMIVME-7589, or the VMIVME-7589A and the other connected
to the VMIVME-7455 P2 connector.
