This manual provides general information, hardware preparation
and installation instructions, operating instructions, and a
functional description of the MVME2603/2604 family of Single
Board Computers.
The MVME2603/2604 is a single-slot VMEmodule equipped with a
PowerPCª Series microprocessor. The MVME2603 is equipped
with a PowerPC 603 microprocessor; the MVME2604 has a
PowerPC 604 microprocessor. 256KB L2 cache (level 2 secondary
cache memory) is available as an option on all versions.
The complete MVME2603/2604 consists of the base board plus:
o
An ECC DRAM module (RAM200) for memory
o
An optional PCI mezzanine card (PMC) for additional
versatility
o
An optional carrier board for additional PCI expansion
The block diagram in Figure 1-1 illustrates the architecture of the
MVME2603/2604 base board.
The following equipment is required to complete an MVME2603/
2604 system:
o
VME system enclosure
o
System console terminal
o
Operating system (and/or application software)
o
Disk drives (and/or other I/O) and controllers
o
Transition module (MVME712M or MVME761) and
connecting cables
MVME2603/2604 VMEmodules are factory-configured for I/O
handling via either MVME712M or MVME761 transition modules.
The following table shows the relationship between MVME2603/
2604 model numbers and the applicable transition module.
