E1406-2 : Set the Command Module as Slot 0 Device
Set the following switches:
• Slot 0 switches to the "Enable" Position, and
• (VME) System Controller switch to the "Enable" Position.
The slot 0 functionality is used during operation for the following purposes:
– locate where modules are installed in the mainframe
– manage (arbitrate) data flow across the VXIbus backplane busses
– provide the system clock (SYSCLK - 16 MHz)
See Appendix A, "Terms and Definitions," for additional information on the
slot 0 device.
NOTE Once the Command Module is set as the slot 0 device, it must then be
installed in the mainframe’s slot 0.
