System compatibility

XVME-979 belongs to XYCOM XVME series mass storage module.

It works together with XVME-65x,XVME-66x series VME PC/AT processor boards.

Compatible with turbine,compressor and legacy DCS control systems via VME bus.

Commonly used for power plant,oil & gas,petrochemical old equipment maintenance and spare replacement.

Function

VME single-slot optical and disk storage expansion module for XVME PC/AT CPU.

Signals pass through VME P2 backplane to communicate with host CPU board.

Support ATAPI optical drive and IDE hard disk,front panel port for external floppy.

Used for system firmware upgrade,program backup,data archiving of legacy industrial control equipment.

Onboard signal buffer to stabilize IDE/ATAPI signal transmission.

Support hardware drive identification,PIO mode configuration.

Drive status displayed via activity LED indicator.

Installation

Power off VME chassis.

Insert XVME-979 card into empty 6U single-height VME slot,tighten front panel fixing screw.

Ensure P1 power and P2 backplane signal connection are reliable.

Connect external floppy or hard disk to front panel connector if required.

Power on chassis,enter BIOS to identify optical drive and hard disk.

Interface

VME P1 power connector,VME P2 signal backplane connector,ATAPI/IDE optical drive port,external floppy front panel port,LED indicators.

Feature

6U single slot VME storage module,XYCOM XVME series.

Multiple optional variants with CD-ROM,CD-RW,DVD-RW and IDE hard disk combinations.

External floppy port on front panel for offline data backup.

Designed to match XVME-65x/66x PC/AT VME processor boards.

Discontinued obsolete VME module,supply only for old production system spare replacement.

Vibration resistant PCB design,suitable for turbine control cabinet.

Diagnostic

LED no light:P2 backplane poor contact or power supply abnormality;

Optical drive cannot be detected:check P2 connection and BIOS ATAPI setting;

Hard disk recognition failure:verify IDE cable and drive power;

External floppy read write error:check floppy media and cable connection.
