Continued 

JP1 -  
VME Control 

This jumper sets the Master or Slave function of the board on the VME bus. 

Note: 

Single-node D20 systems are 

always

 set to Master. 

   

JP2 -  
VME Address 

JP2 is a group of four jumpers that set the VME bus address of the board. The 
address should reflect the board location in a D200 CCU chassis. 

Example: The board with address 1 will be the lead node, with nodes 2 

through 8 positioned to the right of the lead node. 

Note: 

Single-node D20s are set to address 0 (all jumpers IN). 

   

JP3-1 and  
JP3-2 
RTC Options 

These two jumpers determine the 

R

eal-

T

ime 

C

lock (RTC) source for each 

D20 ME board in a CCU: 

• 

Single-node D20s and the first, or 

lead,

 node of a D200 both use an internal 

clock. 

• 

Non-lead nodes of a D200 synchronize the clocks to the clock of the lead node. 

  

Table: JP4 -  
Watchdog 
Enable/Disable 

This two-position jumper enables or disables the hardware Watchdog.
