5.1. Installation
The V775 board must be inserted in a V430 VME 6U crate if the purchased version is
equipped with a PAUX connector. If the version does not have the PAUX connector, it can
be inserted into a standard VME 6U crate. Refer to Table 1.1 for details on the various
versions. Please note that some versions of the board support live insertion/extraction
into/from the crate, i.e. it is possible to insert or extract them from the crate without turning
the crate off. Moreover, it is possible to switch the board off by the relevant PWR switch
(see § 3.5.2) without cutting the interrupt chain off.
