Configuring the ESDI card

Configuring the ESDI card consists of setting the port addresses using the

address selection switch and setting the port interface options using the

jumper blocks. The system software must then be configured to recognize

the ESDI card. Figure 312 "ESDI card option switch locations" (page

1099)shows the location of all option switches and jumper sockets on the

ESDI card.

Address switch settings

The two ESDI ports on the card are addressed in pairs such as 0 and 1, 2

and 3, and so on). The address is set using switch S2. The switch settings

used to select the address vary depending on whether the card is Style A or

Style B. The"Style" can be read on the printed circuit board silk screen. The

address of the card is set to match the deviceaddress defined in software.
