SMT Configuration Switch, S1

Hardware Preparation and Installation

 

 

The following sections describe the on-board switches and their configurations for the MVME7100.

Board Malfunction

Switches marked as “reserved” might carry production-related functions and can cause the board to malfunction if their setting is changed.

Do not change settings of switches marked as “reserved”. The setting of switches which are not marked as “reserved” has to be checked and changed before board installation.

2.4.1SMT Configuration Switch, S1

An 8-position SMT configuration switch (S1) is located on the MVME7100 to control the flash bank write-protect, select the flash boot image, and control the safe start ENV settings. The default setting on all switch positions is OFF and is indicated by brackets in Table 2-5.
