Specifying the Location of the Target

BlockĆTransfer Module

Each blockĆtransfer request must have an I/O module location

associated with it. The location of the target I/O module specifies its

I/O rack, group, and the slot number within the I/O group. You set

these parameters by setting bits of the variable associated with the

second word within the request's status and control table, which is

labeled Rack/Slot/Group/Req. The bits and their meaning are:

xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

0

7

15

11

I/O Rack (numbered in octal)

Slot Number

I/O Group

Request Type

For more information about determining the location of a

blockĆtransfer module, see section 4.2.3.
To specify the target blockĆtransfer module's location, do the

following:
Step 1.

Specify the I/O rack within which the module resides

(0Ć37

8

) by loading the remote rack number into bits 0Ć4 of

the variable associated with the request's

Rack/Slot/Group/Req register.
For example, if the target module for request 1 was

located in rack 7, bits 0Ć4 of register 833 should contain

the value of 7.

833:

xxxx xxxx xxx0 0111

Step 2.

Specify the slot number of the blockĆtransfer module by

setting bit 8 of the variable associated with the

Rack/Slot/Group/Req register. The slot number is either 0

or 1, and specifies the position of the module in the I/O

group.

If the I/O chassis containing

the blockĆtransfer module

is using:

Set bit 8 of the variable associated with the

request's Rack/Slot/Group/Req register to:

1Ć or 1/2Ćslot addressing

0

2Ćslot addressing

0, if the module is in the low slot of the I/O

group
1, if the module is in the high slot of the I/O

group

For example, if the target module for request 1 was

located in slot 0 of its I/O group, then bit 8 of register 833

should contain the value of 0.

833:

xxxx xxx0 xxx0 0111

Step 3.

Specify the I/O group to which the target module belongs

by loading a value of 0Ć7 in bits 9Ć11 of the variable

associated with the Rack/Slot/Group/Req register.
