(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode

To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations are to
be performed during Wait for Key state. To ensure the initial state of
the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform four write opera-tions
to the Special Address port (2EH). Two different enter keys are
provided to select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.

(2) Modify the Data of the Registers

All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the MB
PnP Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the content of
Index 07h must be changed to the LDN to which the register
belongs, except some Global registers.

(3) Exit the MB PnP Mode

Set bit 1 of the configure control register (Index=02h) to 1 to exit the
MB PnP Mode.

This register is write only. Its values are not sticky; that is to say, a
hardware reset will automatically clear the bits, and does not
require the software to clear them.
