Specifications 1 Specifications General specifications for the MVME177 are listed in Table 1-3. The following sections detail cooling requirements and FCC compliance. Cooling Requirements The Motorola MVME177 VMEmodule is specified, designed, and tested to operate reliably with an incoming air temperature range from 0û to 55û C (32û to 131û F) with forced air cooling at a velocity typically achievable by using a 100 CFM axial fan. Temperature qualification is performed in a

General Information 1 more favorable thermal conditions, it may be possible to operate the module reliably at higher than 55û C with increased airflow. It is important to note that there are several factors, in addition to the rated CFM of the air mover, which determine the actual volume and speed of air flowing over a module. Forced air cooling is required for the Atlas motherboard. Additional cooling is required with the installation of the MPC604 RISC processor. A 3-pi

General Description 1 FCC Compliance The MVME177 was tested in an FCC-compliant chassis, and meets the requirements for Class A equipment. FCC compliance was achieved under the following conditions: 1. Shielded cables on all external I/O ports. 2. Cable shields connected to earth ground via metal shell connectors bonded to a conductive module front panel. 3. Conductive chassis rails connected to earth ground. This provides the path for connecting shields to earth g
