Motherboard setup procedure Before applying power, check fuses and short circuits. Fuse F1 is for +5V, F4 for 3.3V, F2 for +12V and F3 for -12V. The resistance between them and to the ground should be greater than 200 Ohms. For programming the chips on the motherboard, the Xilinx parallel download cable and the Altera Byteblaster software should be first installed on your computer. A Byteblaster and a Xilinx adapter cable is needed. When downloading Xilinx chips the Xilinx adapter cable must be inserted between the PC's parallel port and the Byteblaster in order that it works correctly. First plug the Byteblaster into the 10-pin header of the motherboard, connect it via the Xilinx adapter cable to the PC's parallel port. Start the Xilinx download software iMPACT. Select the JTAG Boundary Scan Mode. Then Open a Chain Description File named local.cdf(it may need some editing before the first time use) go to menu operation -> chain operation and click execute button, this will program all the Xilinx CPLD chips on the motherboard Remove the Xilinx adapter cable and start the Maxplus2 programmer. Go to menu JTAG -> Multidevice JTAG chain setup and click the restore JCF button. Select local.jcf and click OK. Clicking the Configure button will start the configuration. Now it should be possible to access the motherboard from VME bus. Write the local control configuration into the FLASH memory so that next time at power on the local control does not have to be downloaded from JTAG again. If the motherboard is for FRC, put in two 47 Ohm resistor network into RN1 and RN2 sockets.
