IPMC ModulES

The IPMC761 and IPMC712 are optional add-on PMC

modules that provide backward compatibility with

previous generation Emerson products (such as

MVME2600. MVME2700 and MVME5100 in IPMC mode)

using the MVME761 or MVME712M transition module.

IPMC modules provide rear I/O support for the following:

•  One single-ended Ultra Wide SCSI port

•  One parallel port

•  Four serial ports (two or three async and one or two  n

sync/async, depending on module)

With an IPMC installed, one PMC slot is still available,

providing support for OEM product customization.

The MVME5500 series supports two, jumper-configurable

P2 I/O modes: PMC mode and IPMC mode. PMC mode

is backward compatible with the MVME2300/

MVME2400 and MVME5100 in PMC mode. In PMC

mode, 64 pins from PMC slot 1 and 46 pins from PMC

slot 2 are available on P2 for PMC rear I/O. In IPMC

mode, the MVME5500 series supports legacy

MVME761 or MVME712M I/O modules (with limited

PMC I/O) when an IPMC761 or IPMC712 PMC card is

populated in PMC slot 1.
