Functional Description
This section contains a functional description of the major blocks on
the MVME162LX.

Front Panel Switches and Indicators

There are two switches and four LEDs on the front panel of the
MVME162LX.
RESET switch. Resets all onboard devices (including IP
modules, if installed) and drives SYSRESET* if the board is
system controller. The RESET switch may be disabled by
software.
ABORT switch. When enabled by software, the ABORT switch
generates an interrupt at a user-programmable level. It is
normally used to abort program execution and return to the
162Bug debugger.
FAIL LED (red). Lights when the BRDFAIL* signal line is
active or when the processor is halted. Part of DS1.
RUN LED (green or amber). Lights when the local bus TIP*
signal line is low. This indicates one of the local bus masters
is executing a local bus cycle. Part of DS1.
SCON LED (green). Lights when the VMEchip2 in the
MVME162LX is the VMEbus system controller. Part of DS2.
FUSES LED (green). Lights when +5Vdc, +12Vdc, and -12Vdc
power is available to the LAN and SCSI interfaces and IP
connectors. Part of DS2.
