SCSI Termination
The VXIpc-850 uses active termin ation on the SCSI-2 bus. Because the
VXIpc-850 is always an end device, you should not need to disable the
termination; however, Figure 3-10 shows the settings for jumper W1.

a. Terminate SCSI

GPIB Interrupt Level
You can program the GPIB interface on the VXIpc-850 to use one of
two ISA interrupts—5 or 11. Switch S8 controls which interrupt line
the GPIB interface uses. Figure 3-11 shows these settings.

a. GPIB Uses IRQ11 (Default)
b. GPIB Uses IRQ5

System CMOS
The VXIpc-850 contains a backed-up memory used to store BIOS
defaults and configuration information.
To clear the CMOS contents, simply short the pins of W2 as shown in
Figure 3-12b.
Warning:
You should not keep these two pins shorted because the CMOS
memory cannot be sustained when the power is turned off if these two
pins are shorted.
