I/O Module Status

The EMU verifies that the six I/O modules are present, properly
installed, and communicating with the backplane, and that
TERMPOWER is at the correct level. The EMU reports an error
condition whenever any one of these conditions are not met. The
EMU also reports the I/O module type to the array controller. If the
controller determines that all modules are not the same type, it
displays this information on the optional maintenance terminal, if
connected.

An integrated circuit on each I/O module functions as a bus
expander
. The EMU and the array controller can either enable or
disable this circuit on an individual I/O module, thereby controlling
individual external SCSI buses.

The EMU maintains the following configuration information:

Enclosure number (the PVA SCSI ID switch setting)

EMU microcode revision

EMU message protocol revision

Temperature sensor set points
