Bus Node ID Plug
Installed
The bus node ID plug identifies the bus node
ID number of the ISE to the system and is,
by default, the unit number. The ISE bus
node ID is factory set to a number 0 through
6.
Not Installed
The ISE bus node number is undefined. The
ISE fault indicator lights.
Fault
Lit
Indicates an error condition in the ISE.
The light is on temporarily during power-
up sequence (normal condition).
Not lit
Indicates an error-free condition in the ISE.
Run/Ready
In (lit, green)
ISE is on line. When the ISE is available
for use, the green indicator light in the
switch is on. Under normal operation the
green indicator flashes as seek operations
are performed.
Out (not lit)
ISE is off line and cannot be accessed. The
green indicator light cannot be lit when the
Run/Ready button is out.
Write-Protect
In (lit, amber)
ISE is write protected.
Prevents system
software from writing to the ISE.
Out (not lit)
ISE is not write protected. Normal position
for software operation. System software is
free to read from or write to the ISE.
The Write-Protect button controls whether the system can write data to
the ISE. The system can read from the ISE regardless of the setting of the
Write-Protect button. When the Write-Protect button is out (not lit), the
system can write to the ISE. Your system disk (the ISE containing system
software) and ISEs containing work areas for users should be write enabled,
the normal operating setting.
If you want to write-protect an ISE containing sensitive data that you do
not want changed or accidentally erased, set the Write-Protect button to in
(lit).
