Setting DIP Switches
Two DIP switches on left slot BCC determine bus architecture and some
bus behavior. If that BCC is removed, then the DIP switches on the
other BCC define the bus. See Table 8 for a description of switch
settings.
Note
The switch settings on both BCCs must match. If the disk
system is being connected to an HP-UX system, the
switch should be set to SES mode. If the disk system is
being connected to a Netserver, the switch should be set
to SAF-TE mode.
If the BCC self-test detects any discrepancy, the buzzer sounds 4 or 5
times, and the BCC fault and system fault LEDs flash. If the system is
starting up, the disks do not spin up. If the system is operating, the disks
and second BCC continue to operate.
