9 Installation on the SPARC/CPU-0V,VT(e) Installation on the SPARC/CPU-0V,VT(e) The installation of memory modules is the same on a SPARC/CPU-0VTe and on a SPARC/CPU-0VT. Furthermore, it is almost the same on a SPARC/CPU-0V, the only difference being that it is not necessary to separate the base board and the SBus I/O board since there is no SBus I/O board on a SPARC/CPU-0V. Therefore, this installation guide uses the term SPARC/CPU-0VT summarily. Note: During the installation you will handle screws and standoffs of different sizes. If you uninstall components, ensure that you remember which screw or standoff fits in which place. General procedure To get an overview of the relevant locations have a look at the following figure and compare it to your configuration of SBus, memory and MBus modules: lower upper memory modules Base board MEM- 0L MEM- 0U MBus modules VME power mod. SBus I/O board Front panel SBus modules VME power mod. Note: When uninstalling or installing MBus or memory modules, note that at least the following components are required to be installed on the SPARC/CPU-0VT (to locate them see figure above): the MBus module and the lower memory module (MEM-0L ). SPARC/MEM-0 Page 5

10 Installation on the SPARC/CPU-0V,VT(e) To install a SPARC/MEM-0 on a SPARC/CPU-0VT follow the steps below:. Note that each MEM-0L includes 4 little standoffs, whereas each MEM-0U includes 4 screws: Little standoff Screw. Remove the SPARC/CPU-0VT from the VME rack according to the CPU board s Installation Guide.. If your configuration includes SBus modules, remove SBus module (see respective section on page 9). 4. Check for standoffs at the locations marked as,, and in the figures below: SBus I/O board with optional VME power module (part of the SPARC/CPU-0VT/SBus-AccKit) VME power module Flexible PCB with connectors for the base board Cross-section of a completely assembled SPARC/CPU-0VT SBus modules SBus I/O board MBus modules Memory modules Base board Flexible PCB,, and Page 6 SPARC/MEM-0

11 Installation on the SPARC/CPU-0V,VT(e) 5. If there are no standoffs, skip this step and proceed with the next step. If there are standoffs at the locations,, and, two different situations can occur: In the first case your configuration includes the optional VME power module which is part of the SPARC/CPU- 0VT/SBus-AccKit. In this case, you have to separate the VME power module from the SBus I/O board by first disassembling the screws at the locations,, and on top of the VME power module (see figure below), thereafter unplugging the VME power module, and at last disassembling the standoffs at the same locations,, and between the VME power module and the SBus I/O board. SBus I/O board with VME power module VME power module Flexible PCB with connectors for the base board In the second case your configuration does not include the VME power module. In this case, you have to disassemble the screws at the same locations,, and as shown in the figure above but on top of the SBus I/O board instead of on top of the VME power module (see figure above). 6. Separate the base board and the SBus I/O board (see respective section on page 0). SPARC/MEM-0 Page 7

12 Installation on the SPARC/CPU-0V,VT(e) 7. If necessary, remove the installed MBus modules (see respective section on page ).
