Information

Overview Downloads Applications / Compatibility Product Precautions
  • An MVME172LX controller provides a 68060 host for a VME installation that also uses SCSI and Ethernet.
Board match: retain the complete -333 marking
Boot record: preserve 172Bug variables
Rear route: label storage and network leads
Acceptance: confirm memory and field traffic
The Motorola assembly list fixes four important -333 attributes: the 60 MHz MC68060 execution, 8 MB ECC DRAM, and fitted SCSI and Ethernet interfaces. This exact combination guides replacement and prevents substitution of a similar -3xx or PA-series board with a different memory organization.

The MVME172LX family uses VME host connections and a configurable boot environment. Rear transition wiring, serial access and peripheral attachments must be compared with the original slot and system drawings; an identical processor family does not prove connector equivalence.

At commissioning, inspect 172Bug startup messages and memory detection before testing storage and network traffic. Preserve boot parameters and application image from the operating unit, then validate real field communication through the installed system.
Controller platform reference: Motorola MVME172LX. Compare the complete -333 assembly.
Technical downloads for Motorola MVME172-333: selected original Motorola pages and a product-specific installation guide.
The technical reference preserves selected original Motorola pages. The installation guide is prepared by Apter Power; confirm the installed revision and site requirements before work.
A -333 replacement should preserve the working memory, boot and rear-interface configuration before mechanical exchange.
De-energize chassis

Isolate the VME supply and handle the board using ESD protection.

Memory mezzanine

Inspect fitted memory hardware and compare the recorded 8 MB ECC configuration before startup.

Transition connections

Label SCSI, Ethernet and serial leads by actual connector and port, not by nearby board position.

Boot parameters

Record 172Bug environment variables and storage selection before removing the current controller.

Bus role

Check VME controller and interrupt settings against the chassis system map.

Acceptance run

Prove memory diagnostics, boot device, Ethernet communication and application I/O after replacement.

Alternative Names

Technical notes

Variant boundary: The -333 ordering row has 8 MB ECC DRAM and is not the 32 MB Petra II PA-652SE configuration.

System handover: Keep the original 172Bug environment and boot-device map with the machine record before exchanging the board.

FAQ View All FAQ

  • Which assembly facts distinguish MVME172-333 from nearby MVME172 variants?
    Motorola identifies -333 with a 60 MHz MC68060, 8 MB ECC DRAM, SCSI and Ethernet. Use all four attributes when screening a spare.
  • How should ECC memory be checked after installing MVME172-333?
    Compare detected memory with the 8 MB assembly and review 172Bug memory diagnostics before loading the application image.
  • What can prevent MVME172-333 from finding its SCSI boot device?
    Check the physical transition path, target ID, bus termination and saved firmware boot setting before replacing storage hardware.
  • How should Ethernet service be proved on MVME172-333?
    Verify physical link, configured interface parameters and successful traffic to the intended host; also test the plant application endpoint.
  • Why is the 172Bug record important when changing MVME172-333?
    The monitor controls board initialization and boot selection. Saved environment values help distinguish a configuration mismatch from a faulty replacement.
  • Can MVME172-333 use a MVME172PA-652SE software image without review?
    Do not assume so: the two boards have different documented memory architectures and platform implementations. Validate the board support package and peripheral map first.
  • What should be compared on the VME backplane for MVME172-333?
    Match slot function, P1/P2 seating, controller role and rear I/O wiring to the installed chassis drawing.
  • What is a meaningful completion test for MVME172-333?
    Pass firmware and memory checks, boot from the expected SCSI path, prove Ethernet communication and run the application I/O acceptance sequence.
