Working Principle
The dual-core PowerPC processor manages data flow through integrated DDR2 memory controllers and PCI Express switches. The Tsi148 VME bridge translates local bus transactions to the VME backplane, enabling high-speed communication with other system modules.

Installation Requirements

  • Install in a 3-row or 5-row VME chassis with adequate power budget.
  • Ensure proper grounding and ESD protection during installation.
  • Configure boot parameters via onboard switches or software.

Usage Precautions

  • Observe maximum power limits of the VME backplane.
  • Maintain operating temperature within 0°C to +55°C with forced-air cooling.
  • Avoid exposure to high humidity or condensation.
