• 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

NOTE The q4 debugging functionality is supported. PCI-MUX code symbols and

data structures can be displayed using q4. This helps faster analysis of

crash dumps in the library ﬁle eqnx_debug.o.
