To find the word that stores the fault bits for an I/O adapter:
Rack # in decimal
= word in file 2 containing fault bits for the adapter.
4 The remainder tells you the bit numbers within the word:
0 - bits 00 to 03
1 - bits 04 to 07
2 - bits 10 to 13
3 - bits 14 to 17
For example, the fault bits for I/O rack 10 are in word 2 (S2:2), bits 10 to 13.

Important: The processor does not create status file 2 at power-up. You
must create it in memory by using the create command.
