| 25 | The MVME2100x is a single board computer (SBC) with support for PCI mezzanine cards. It is based on the MPC8240 microprocessor. |
| 26 | The right front panel cutout provides access to PMC I/O. One single-width PMC can be installed. The left front panel cutout provides access to Type II PC-MIP I/O (SCSI, VGA, etc.) Up to two PC-MIP cards can be added. |
| 27 | The center of the MVME2100 SBC can accommodate one Type I PC-MIP card (on connectors P21, P22, and P23). It should be noted that any Type I PC-MIP card that does not incorporate I/O (such as flash memory) can also be installed on the left side of the board where the Type II PC-MIP cards are normally installed (on either P31/P32 or P41/P42) |

| 29 | The PMC slot is shared with one of the PC-MIP Type I slots. A factory build option determines whether the slot will support a PMC board or a PC-MIP Type I board (i.e. connectors P11/P12/P13 will be removed if the PMC board is installed on J11/J12/J14) Two RJ45 connectors on the front panel provide the interface to 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and to a debug serial port |
