Safety Notes

system to show compliance with the above mentioned requirements. A proper installation 

in a compliant system will maintain the required performance. Use only shielded cables 

when connecting peripherals to assure that appropriate radio frequency emissions 

compliance is maintained.

Operation 

Installation Data Loss Powering down or removing a board before the operating system or other software running on the board has been properly shut down may cause corruption of data or file systems. Make sure all software is completely shut down before removing power from the board or removing the board from the chassis. Product Damage Only use injector handles for board insertion to avoid damage to the front panel and/or PCB. Deformation of the front panel can cause an electrical short or other board malfunction 

Product Damage High humidity and condensation on the board surface causes short circuits. Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits. Make sure the board is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before applying power. Damage of Circuits Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal can damage circuits or shorten its life. Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an ESD-safe environment. Board Malfunction Switches marked as Reserved might carry production-related functions and can cause the board to malfunction if their setting is changed. Do not change settings of switches marked as Reserved. The setting of switches which are not marked as “reserved” has to be checked and changed before board installation.

Product Damage Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result in damage to module components. Before installing or removing additional devices or modules, read the documentation that came with the product

Cabling and Connectors 

 Product Damage RJ-45 connectors on modules are either twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE) or E1/T1/J1 network interfaces. Connecting an E1/T1/J1 line to an Ethernet connector may damage your system. 

  Make sure that TPE connectors near your working area are clearly marked as network connectors 

 Verify that the length of an electric cable connected to a TPE bushing does not exceed 100 meters 

  Make sure the TPE bushing of the system is connected only to safety extra low voltage circuits (SELV circuits) If in doubt, ask your system administrator

Battery

Board/System Damage Incorrect exchange of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion. When exchanging the on-board lithium battery, make sure that the new and the old battery are exactly the same battery models. If the respective battery model is not available, contact your local Penguin Solutions sales representative for the availability of alternative, officially approved battery models. Data Loss Exchanging the battery can result in loss of time settings. Backup power prevents the loss of data during exchange. Quickly replacing the battery may save time settings. Data Loss If the battery has low or insufficient power the RTC is initialized. Exchange the battery before seven years of actual battery use have elapsed

Introduction

The MVME55006E is a single-board computer based on the PowerPC MPC7457 processor and the Marvell GT-64260B host bridge with a dual PCI interface and memory controller. On-board payload includes two PMC slots, two SDRAM banks, an expansion connector for two additional banks of SDRAM, 8MB boot flash ROM, one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port, one 10/100 Ethernet port, 32MB expansion flash ROM, two serial ports, NVRAM and a real-time clock. The MVME55006E interfaces to a VMEbus system via its P1 and P2 connectors and contains two IEEE 1386.1 PCI mezzanine card (PMC) slots. The PMC slots are 64-bit and support both front and rear I/O. Additionally, the MVME55006E is user-configurable by setting on-board jumpers. Two I/O modes are possible: PMC mode or SBC mode (also called 761 or IPMC mode). 

  The SBC mode uses the IPMC712 I/O PMC and the MVME712M transition module, or the IPMC761 I/O PMC and the MVME761 transition module. The SBC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME761 transition module and the P2 adapter card (excluding PMC I/O routing) used on the MVME5100 product. This mode is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers and by attaching an IPMC761 PMC in PMC slot 1. Secondary Ethernet is configured to the rear.
