Hardware Preparation
To select the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME177, certain option modifications may be necessary before installation. The MVME177 provides software control for most of these options. Some options cannot be done in software, so are done by jumpers on headers. Most other modifications are done by setting bits in control registers after the MVME177 has been installed in a system. (The MVME177 registers are described in Chapter 4, and/or in the Single Board Computers Programmer's Reference Guide as listed in Related Documentation in Chapter 1).
The location of switches, jumper headers, connectors, and LED indicators on the MVME177 is illustrated in Figure
