Module installation

4.1. Mounting the module

A maximum of four modules can be fitted on the i4000 base board. To plug in a module
slide the module from above under an angle on top of the i4000 and first position the
25-pole sub-D connector through the openings in the front cover. Then position the
24-pole female header on top of the corresponding header on the base board. Push the
module until the 40-pole header connector is positioned and press the module with care
in its place.
The module can be secured in its position using two or four screws (M3 * 5mm). The
older modules only have mounting provisions for the two screws on the 25-pole sub-D
connector but the newer modules have two additional screws to secure the module.

4.2. P2 connector assignments

Peripherals can be connected to M-modules in two ways. On the front side of the
module a 25-pole sub-D connector (or mechanically equivalent) can be used to connect
cables on the front panel of the VMEbus base board. Alternatively, a 24-pole header
connector interfaces the I/O signals to the base board where they are connected to the
VMEbus P2 connector.
In 32 bit VMEbus systems the backplane for the P2 connector must either be removed
for the i4000 slot or an i4000 without the P2 connector must be ordered. In that case
the peripherals can be connected to the M-module up front.

Every M-module has 24 pins of the P2 connector assigned. Four modules on a base
board can then use this I/O path.
This division into four pads of the P2 connector enables so called "module connector" to
be plugged into the back of a 96-way shroud, mounted on the "P2-backplane". On the
96-way connector 3 pins are not used for every module. Several manufacturers produce
these "module connectors, which can be coded and sometimes have latches.
