Chapter 1. ISA Sync Board Controls and Indicators

Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 describe the controls, indicators, connectors, and DIP switches on the ISA Sync board.

Figure 1-1. ISA Sync Board


Table 1-1. ISA Sync Board Controls and Indicators

Designator

Function

Front panel red and green LED lights

Show board status—green is lit for normal operation, red for board halt/failure

Board RST (reset) switch

Momentary contact switch for system reset (not accessible after installation)

Board NMI switch

Momentary contact switch for non-maskable interrupt (not accessible after installation)

Ports 0 and 1

These two ports provide mini-DB26 connectors to attach to an SGI provided cable.

Board ID switch

Defines the board number address (see Figure 1-2)

X.21 Resistor packs (RP15 and RP17)
See Figure 1-3.

These resistor packs install only on ISA boards with X.21 connections. CAUTION: If these resistor packs are present in a non-X.21 board, remove them before installation. Board damage can result if you install a non-X.21 board together with the resistor pack.

Figure 1-3. Resistor Pack Placement for X.21 ISA Sync Board Configuration



Caution: Resistor packs RP15 and RP17 apply only to X.21 operation. If these resistor packs are present in a non-X.21 board configuration, remove the resistor packs before installing the board into the system. Be sure to wear a wrist strap if you need to remove the resistor packs.
