Embedded Controller and associated equipment are set as required
for your particular application.
2. The MVME172LX board is installed and cabled up as appropriate
for your particular chassis or system, as outlined in Chapter 1.
3. The terminal that you plan to use as the system console is connected
to the console port (serial port 1) on the MVME172LX module.
4. The terminal is set up as follows:
– Eight bits per character
– One stop bit per character
– Parity disabled (no parity protection)
– Baud rate 9600 baud (the default baud rate of many serial ports
at power-up)

After you complete the checks listed above, you are ready to power up the
