5. Any other device that you wish to use, such as a host computer system
and/or peripheral equipment, is cabled to the appropriate connectors.
After you complete the steps listed above, you are ready to power up the
system.
Initial Conditions
After you have verified that all necessary hardware preparation has been
done, that all connections have been made correctly, and that the
installation is complete, you can power up the system. Applying power to
the system (as well as resetting it) triggers an initialization of the
MVME167P’s MPU, hardware, and firmware along with the rest of the
system.
The EPROM-resident firmware initializes the devices on the MVME167P
board in preparation for booting the operating system. The firmware is
shipped from the factory with a set of defaults appropriate to the board. In
most cases there is no need to modify the firmware configuration before
you boot the operating system. For specifics in this regard, refer to Chapter
3 and to the user documentation for the MVME167Bug firmware.
Applying Power
When you power up (or when you reset) the system, the firmware executes
some self-checks and proceeds to the hardware initialization. The system
startup occurs in a predetermined sequence, following the hierarchy
inherent in the processor and the MVME167P hardware. The figure below
charts the flow of the basic initialization sequence that takes place during
system startup.
