3 • Switches and LEDs
3.1 Switches
DIP switches are used on the IPN250RTM to select particular functionality, as
described in Table 3-1 (COMs, JTAG, System Controller, etc) and
Table 3-2 (PCIe
switch configuration).
LINK
Refer to Figure 1-1 for the location of the P7 switch bank.
NOTE
Links on headers P7 and P8 are no longer operable.
3.1.1 Miscellaneous Signals
Closing a switch takes the corresponding function to the low (GND) state.
System Controller
The IPN250 associated with this RTM can be made System Controller via DIP
switches on the IPN250RTM, the backplane or the FABRTMP1.
CAUTION
Only set System Controller on one of the backplane, the IPN250RTM or the FABRTMP1 (more than
one may result in the incorrect payload board or multiple payload boards being set as System
Controller). Whichever is not used should have DIP switches/links set/left open.
CAUTION
A system should not contain more than one System Controller.
