1Log in to the XSCF Shell.

2On main unit A, execute the setrci -c stat command to display the RCI status.

XSCF> setrci -c stat

HOST

address 000f7fff Inactive

The command completed successfully

3Verify that the RCI address is 000f7fff.

Remarks: 000f7fff is the default value of the RCI address. If the default value is not set, execute the setrci -c init command to initialize the value.

If the system is powered off, you can use the setrci -c init command.

XSCF> setrci -c init

The command completed successfully

4In a similar manner, display the RCI status of main unit B to verify that the RCI address is 000f7fff.

5Connect the main unit and I/O units with RCI cables (see Figure 1.6).

Connect an RCI branching connector to each of the RCI ports, and connect them with RCI cables by using a daisy-chain connection.

Connect an RCI terminating resistor to the branching connector at either end of the RCI connection. Refer to Section 1.3.5, "Connection of RCI."

6Turn on the AC input to all the RCI device which are in the RCI connection.
