IV. PATH FORMAT
On this system, a path has the format:
BC/DA.DEV
BC = The PMB module of the Bus Converter (BC). This decimal value
is based on: 1) the slot number of the BC card.
2) whether the upper or lower connector of
the BC card is used.
BC = (4 * slot number of the BC) + (BC module number)
BC module number is 0 for the lower connector.
2 for the upper connector.
Examples:
BC = 0 for BC card in slot 0, lower connector; (4*0)+0 = 0
= 2 for BC card in slot 0, upper connector; (4*0)+2 = 2
= 16 for BC card in slot 4, lower connector; (4*4)+0 =16
DA = The HP-PB module of the device adapter (DA).
Equals 4 * HP-PB slot number of the DA (decimal).
DEV = The ID number of the device, often set on the
device itself (hexadecimal).
Example: 4/36.3 (decimal format)
BC = 4 4/4 = 1. The BC is in PMB slot 1; module 0.
DA = 36 36/4 = 9. The I/O card is in HP-PB slot 9.
DEV = 3 The ID on the device is set to 3.
Values for BC and DA are expressed in decimal notation.
If there are additional values in the path (for example, to specify
a LAN address), these are expressed in hexadecimal notation.
