This chapter provides a brief description of the MVME2400 Series VME
Processor Module. It also provides instructions for preparing and installing
the hardware.Unless otherwise specified, the designation “MVME240x”

Description
The MVME240x is a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) carrier board. It is based
on the PowerPC
™
750 microprocessor, MPC750.
Two front panel cutouts provide access to PMC I/O. One double-width or
two single-width PMCs can be installed directly on the MVME240x.
Optionally, one or two PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine modules can
be added to provide the capability of up to four additional PMC modules.
Two RJ-45 connectors on the front panel provide the interface to
10/100BaseT Ethernet, and to a debug serial port.
The following list is of equipment that is appropriate for use in an
MVME240x system:
❏ PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine module
❏ Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards
(PMC)s
❏ VMEsystem enclosure
❏ System console terminal
❏ Disk drives (and/or other I/O) and controllers
❏ Operating system (and/or application software)
