Working Principle
The 33 MHz MC68040 manages a 128MB ECC memory space through the Petra ASIC, utilizing hardware DMA to achieve maximum throughput across the VMEbus and local peripherals.

Installation Requirements

  • Requires a high-capacity VME power supply. Forced-air cooling of at least 490 LFM is required to maintain safe operating temperatures.

Usage Precautions

  • Strict ESD compliance is mandatory. Verify chassis power supply headroom before installation. Never expose the lithium battery to extreme heat.
