Logical Address Selection
VXIbus Slot 0/Non-Slot 0
The VXI-MXI-2 is configured at the factory to detect if it is installed in
Slot 0 of a VXIbus chassis automatically. With automatic Slot 0 detection,
you can install the VXI-MXI-2 into any VXIbus slot.
You can manually configure the VXI-MXI-2 for either Slot 0 or Non-Slot 0
operation by defeating the automatic-detection circuitry. Use the
three-position jumper W2 to select automatic Slot 0 detection, Slot 0,
or Non-Slot 0 operation. Figure 5-3 shows these three settings.
Caution
Do not install a device configured for Slot 0 into another slot without first
reconfiguring it to either Non-Slot 0 or automatic configuration. Neglecting to do this
could damage the device, the VXIbus backplane, or both.
