Appendix
This appendix describes how to configure a system containing two
mainframes linked by VME-MXI-2 mainframe extenders.
Configuring Two VME-MXI-2 Modules for a
Two-Frame System
The factory configuration of the VME-MXI-2 is suitable for the most
common system configurations. However, if you are setting up a VME
system using VME-MXI-2 modules to extend from one mainframe to
another, you need to reconfigure the VME-MXI-2 interfaces. You can
find more information about configuring a multiframe system in
Chapter 3, VME-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation, which
describes the switch settings, and Chapter 5, System Configuration,
which describes the partitions of system resources, including logical
addresses. This appendix is a quick reference for systems such as the
one in Figure E-1, which consists of two VME mainframes connected
by a single MXIbus link.
