Hardware Preparation and Installation

Preparation
This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need
to be performed prior to installing the board in a CompactPCI chassis.
Hardware Configuration
To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the
MCPN750A, you may need to carry out certain hardware modifications
before installing the module.
The MCPN750A provides software control over most options by setting
bits in control registers after installing the module in a system. You can
also modify the board’s configuration by modifying similar control
registers. The MCPN750A control registers are described in the
MCPN750A CompactPCI Single Board Computer Programmer’s
Reference Guide (MCPN750A/PG), which can be accessed on line in pdf
or html format through the Motorola Computer Group Literature web site
(http://www.motorola.com/computer/literature).
Some options, however, are not software-programmable. These options
are controlled by installing or removing header jumpers or interface
modules on the baseboard or the associated transition module.
MCPN750A Baseboard Preparation
Figure 1-2 illustrates the placement of the switches, jumper headers,
connectors, and LED indicators on the MCPN750A. Manually configured
items on the baseboard include:
❏
Flash bank selection (J7)
❏
Stand-Alone Operating Mode (J8)
For a discussion of the configured items on the transition module, refer in
this chapter to the sections titled TMCPN710 Transition Module
Preparation, or to the respective user’s manuals for the transition modules
(listed in the Related Documentation appendix) as necessary.
