Ethernet Power-On Defaults
The VXIpc-800 Ethernet circuitry loads its power-on settings from an
EEPROM. You should not change switch S1 from its default setting;
however, the switch setting required to do so is included in Figure 3-14
for informational purposes.

Installing the VXIpc 800 Series
This section contains general installation instructions for the
VXIpc-800. Consult your VXIbus mainframe user manual or technical
reference manual for specific instructions and warnings.
1. Plug in your mainframe before installing the VXIpc-800. The
power cord grounds the mainframe and protects it from electrical
damage while you are installing the module.
Warning: To protect both yourself and the mainframe from electrical hazards,
the mainframe should remain off until you are finished installing the
VXIpc-800 module.
2. Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the
mainframe slots.
3. If you are installing the VXIpc-800 into a D-size mainframe, install
a support designed for installing C-size boards in D-size
mainframes. The VXIpc-800 has no P3 connector and cannot
provide P3 Slot 0 control to VXI devices requiring this capability.
Caution: If the VXIpc-800 is not configured for automatic Slot 0 detection, be
certain that the slot you select in your VXIbus mainframe matches the
VXIpc-800 configuration as either a Slot 0 device or a Non-Slot 0 device.
If you install your VXIpc-800 into a slot that does not correspond with the
jumper setting, you risk damage to the VXIpc-800, the VXIbus backplane,
or both.
