VME-MXI-2 User Manual
You can choose from three user-defined pins on J2/P2. The pin you
select must be bused on the VMEbus backplane between all slots that
will have a VME-MXI-2 installed. Use jumper W2 to select pin A5,
C5, or C30 of J2/P2, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Notice that a fourth position is also available on the jumper. This is the
factory-default setting, which does not connect the VME-MXI-2 to any
user-defined pin. You would use this option only if you are installing a
single VME-MXI-2 in a chassis.
Figure 3-3 shows the four intermodule signaling settings.
