Features:
- Dual PMC expansion: Two mezzanine sites extend compatible VMEbus processor assemblies.
- Host-specific carrier: Official documentation identifies the supported XVME processor families.
- Installed-base service role: Retired status places configuration capture ahead of board exchange.
XVME-976 is useful when a legacy XVME system depends on PMC functions that must remain in the existing VMEbus chassis.
A carrier-only replacement still affects mezzanine seating, rear-I/O routing, thermal load and software enumeration.
Service planning therefore records the complete processor, carrier and PMC assembly before any board is removed.
Apter Power can help confirm the Xycom XVME-976 Dual PMC Carrier Module, board suffix, host processor, installed mezzanines and legacy-system recovery scope before quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Host identity: Confirm the processor is an officially documented XVME-689 or XVME-690 family member.
- Slot clearance: Check adjacent cards, retainers and cable access for the populated carrier.
- Power demand: Add both PMC loads to the processor and chassis power budget.
- Cooling path: Preserve airflow across the carrier and installed mezzanines.
- Site record: Photograph and label each PMC position before disassembly.
- Rear I/O: Confirm whether either mezzanine depends on P2 or chassis transition hardware.
- ESD handling: Use grounded controls while moving the carrier and PMC boards.
- Software check: Verify that every mezzanine enumerates and its driver loads after restart.
- Configuration archive: Retain BIOS, operating-system and application records with the hardware map.
- Spare screening: Match the exact carrier family and inspect connectors before installation.
- Bench strategy: Use a compatible controlled system rather than an undocumented standalone power test.
- Migration trigger: Escalate when host, PMC or driver support can no longer be sustained.
- Industrial VME computers: Hosts PMC interfaces in supported XVME processor systems.
- Test equipment: Preserves specialized mezzanine functions in legacy instrumentation.
- Machine-control platforms: Maintains an installed processor and I/O combination during service.
- Migration preparation: Provides a verified hardware map for replacement-system design.
