• The problem with earlier versions of the J3592A’s connector not fitting well with the Mux
cable has been fixed.
• The tool emux_diag displays the board revision number to determine whether a card is a
3.3 volt version or a 5.0 volt version without having to open the system cabinet. The board
version number may be found under the drop-down menu titled Driver Status, selection
Board Status, field Rev_ID. The meaning of each code is as follows:
— Revision number 5 means a 3.3 volt, 8-port PCI mux card
— Revision number 4 or 6 means a 3.3 volt, 64-port PCI mux card
— Any other number means a 5 volt card
• q4 debugging functionality has been added. PCI-MUX code symbols and data structures
from can be displayed using q4. This helps faster analysis of crash dumps in new library
file libpci_muxdbg.o.
