Caution: Do not install a device configured for Slot 0 into another slot without
first reconfiguring it to either Non-Slot 0 or automatic configuration.
Neglecting to do this could damage the device, the VXIbus backplane, or
both.
Figure 3-3. VXIbus Slot Configuration
When the VXI-MXI-2 is installed in Slot 0, it becomes the VMEbus
System Controller. In this role, it has VMEbus Data Transfer Bus
Arbiter circuitry that accepts bus requests on all four VMEbus request
levels, prioritizes the requests, and grants the bus to the highest priority
requester. As VMEbus System Controller, the VXI-MXI-2 also drives
the 16 MHz VMEbus system clock by an onboard 16 MHz oscillator.
