Installation and Maintenance — MVME162-010A
Install the module into a standard 6U VMEbus chassis, ensuring secure connection to the P1/P2 connectors. Verify power supply voltages before power-on to prevent component damage. Routine maintenance involves checking LED status indicators (fail, run, VME) to monitor system health. Clean the board periodically to remove dust, and avoid hot-swapping unless the chassis supports this feature. Firmware updates can be performed via the serial interface using the 162 BUG debugger.
