user-configured half of the EEPROM becomes corrupted in such a way that
the VME-MXI-2 boots to an unusable state.
The Change Factory Configuration switch (switch 2 of U21) lets you
change the factory-default configuration settings by permitting writes to the
factory settings section of the EEPROM. This switch serves as a safety
measure and should not be needed under normal circumstances. When this
switch is off (its default setting) the factory configuration of the EEPROM
is protected so any writes to the factory area will be ignored. The factory
area is protected regardless of the setting of switch1 of U21.
Figure4-5 shows the configuration settings for EEPROM operation.
Thes ettings of switches 3 and 4 have no effect on EEPROM configuration.
