Functional Description

3799-301 is a Blank Panel VME developed by Woodward. This blank panel serves the purpose of filling slots or spaces in a VME chassis, allowing for efficient organization and optimization of the system configuration. It's primary function is to maintain the structural integrity and thermal management of the VME chassis when certain slots are not populated with active modules or cards. By inserting the blank panel into these unoccupied slots, it ensures proper airflow and cooling throughout the system while maintaining a clean and organized appearance. The module follows the standard VME form factor and dimensions, allowing it to seamlessly fit into any VME chassis that adheres to the VMEbus specifications. It is designed to be easily installed and secured within the chassis, typically by using screws or other mounting mechanisms specific to the VME architecture.

Features

• The use of the Blank Panel VME offers several benefits. Firstly, it provides physical protection to the chassis, preventing the ingress of dust, debris, or foreign objects into the empty slots, thus safeguarding the overall system components and their performance.
• Secondly, the blank panels enable future expansion and flexibility within the VME system. As technology advances and new modules or cards are required, the vacant slots filled with blank panels can be easily replaced with active modules, ensuring a smooth upgrade process without the need for extensive reconfiguration or modifications.
• Additionally, the blank panel helps in maintaining the structural integrity and rigidity of the VME chassis. By filling the empty slots, it prevents any potential bending or warping of the chassis, ensuring optimal performance and durability of the entire system.
• The Blank Panel VME, being a generic and blank module, does not offer any specific functionalities or features beyond its role as a filler. However, its simplicity and compatibility make it an essential component for proper VME system organization, airflow management, and future expansion possibilities.

Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

Unless absolutely necessary, do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet. If you have to remove the PCB from the control cabinet, take the following precautions:

• Except for the edges, do not touch any part of the PCB.
• Do not use conductive devices or your hands to touch the electrical conductors, connectors, or components.
• Keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it when replacing a PCB.
• Place the old PCB in the antistatic protective bag as soon as you remove it from the control cabinet.
