Product Introduction
Comparison lead: MVME55006E-0163 upgrades the MVME5500-0163 with MPC7457 tweaks for hotter clocks. Engineers slot this 6U VME beast — 1 GHz PowerPC with AltiVec — into data-crunch racks. Dual 66 MHz PCI buses max PMCs; 64-bit expansion adds four more; Universe II screams VME64x bandwidth.
Eleven units stock. North America/UK lead time 1-2 weeks; Southeast Asia air 3 days flat. MOQ 1, net 30 standard. Ten-piece tiers drop 13%. US VME surplus matches this 6E dash-0163. In field deployments, it holds 62 °C — though four-PMC span pushes airflow needs (honestly, GbE barely registers).
Installation & Configuration Guide
Phase 1 — Pre-Installation (est. 10 min)
Rack de-powered. Caps discharge 5 min. Tools: ESD strap, camera, labels, T10 Torx. Grab MOTLoad backup. Photo IEEE handles, mezzanine connector, P2 traces.
Phase 2 — Removal (est. 5 min)
Label cables tight. Unclip DIN slow. Pull straight — backplane level. Pins pristine? Slot shot taken.
Phase 3 — Installation (est. 10 min)
ESD locked. -0163 markings match. Jumpers copy photos — J18 PMC defaults open. Mezzanine pre-board if expanding; latch double-check. Terminals 0.5 N·m. Pre-scan complete.
Phase 4 — Power-On & Testing (est. 15 min)
5 V ±5% via Fluke. Power up sequence. LEDs: green RUN steady, red SYSFAIL firm, amber STATUS blink. MOTLoad serial connect. PMCspan tests full. Dual GbE full duplex. 30 min run; <18 °C rise. Swap logged.
Troubleshooting quick-reference
- GbE fail → Cat6 test, force gigabit, MDI auto-negotiate.
- SYSFAIL hold → MOTLoad v2.x reload.
- PMCspan dark → 33 MHz isolation verify, PN4 secure.
