E1406-1 : Set the Command Module as Resource Manager
Set the Command Module as resource manager by setting its logical address
to 0. (The Command Module’s factory-set logical address is 0.)
At power-on, the resource manager function is started. The purpose of the
resource manager is to:
• identify all plug-in modules installed in the C-size mainframe
• set commander/servant hierarchies whereby one or more plug-in
modules control other plug-in modules
• perform A24/A32 address mapping so that modules requiring
additional addressing can receive it
• allocate interrupt lines to manage communication between interrupt
handler modules and interrupter modules
• start system operation
Once the power-on sequence is completed and the system is started, the
resource manager is no longer used. See Appendix A, "Terms and
Definitions," for more information on the resource manager.
