Appendix E Configuring a Two-Frame System

To configure the Frame A VXI-MXI-2 to drive the MXIbus CLK10,

change the setting of S7 as shown in Figure E-6b if you have a C-size

VXI-MXI-2, or change the setting of S1 as shown in Figure E-7b if

you have a VXI-MXI-2/B. The setting of the W3 jumper (W1 on a

VXI-MXI-2/B) does not matter because the VXI-MXI-2 is not in Slot 0

and will not be driving the VXIbus CLK10.

To configure the Frame B VXI-MXI-2 to route the MXIbus CLK10 to

the VXIbus, keep S7 in its default setting as shown in Figure E-6a, or

see Figure 7a for the default setting of S1 if you have a VXI-MXI-2/B.

Change the setting of the W3 jumper on the C-size VXI-MXI-2 as

shown in Figure E-8. If you have a VXI-MXI-2/B, see Figure E-9 for

the proper setting of the W1 jumper.

CLK10. Having a second device driving MXIbus CLK10 could damage

the device.
