To install the board on the HVME primary I/O bus:
• Mount the VME board onto an HVME adapter board (see A1). There
is a mounting assembly (four screws) located just above the clock
loading board that holds the board in place.
• Plug the adapter board into the first available slot position past the
processor and memory boards (see A2).
To install the board on the VME secondary I/O bus, install the board
directly into the first available slot past the processor and memory boards
(see B1).
4. Refer to your Installation Manual to locate the jumpers or DIP switches
indicating the free bus slots. Set these DIP switches or jumpers to reflect
the current configuration of the bus slots (see C).
5. Connect any cables that need to be connected.
6. Power up the machine.
NOTE
Notice the position of the (H)VME slot 0 in each system and the
position of the P1 connector when inserting the boards into the
system. In general, (H)VME slot 0 is found to your right hand side
when looking at the system from the front. The slot chosen deter-
mines the arbitration priority of the device on the bus: slot 0 has
the highest priority; slot 7 has the lowest priority.
Using the Console Processor to Probe the Device 10
After you have installed and configured the board according to the vendor specifications, it
is recommended that you verify that the selected address is correct. The Series 6000 con-
sole processor can be used for this purpose. The sections that follow explain how to use
the console to validate the device slave address configuration. It is recommended that you
refer to the Series 6000 Console Reference Manual as you review these sections.
Validating Slave Address Configurations with the Console Processor 10
To verify the device slave address configuration:
1. Turn off virtual addresses by using the o command and specifying the -v
option
2. Use the w(write memory) or e(xamine) command to access the slave phys-
ical address for the device. Specify the b(yte), w(ord) or l(ongword) for-
mat.
The w command writes the specified hexadecimal data to specified memory
address.
