Connections to an IMS B014

The use of the IMS CA16 cable in conjunction with the connectors on a IMS B014 standard VME motherboard is illustrated

in figure 4. The jumper configuration of the motherboard is shown in figure 4. As can be seen, the single ended cable

connections from the IMS B300 are mated with a ‘breakout’ connector or ‘hedgehog’ mounted in the P4 front panel con-

nector of the IMS B014. A TRAM should be inserted in slot 0 of the IMS B014 motherboard array. Other TRAMs may

be added to the motherboard as required. The IMS B014 can be inserted in a VME rack or used in a bench-top mode

via a separate power supply.

Note that this example assumes the use of a 20Mbit/s link speed on both the IMS B300 subsystem and the IMS B014

motherboard. Also note that it is not possible to configure an IMS B014 to access the appropriate signal connections via

its back panel (P2) connector.
