board in its system requests more memory space than the computer can
allocate. If you encounter this situation you should reduce the size of the
VXIpc 870 Series user window. The EEPROM can become corrupted if
the VXIpc 870 Series is shut down while it is updating the EEPROM.
If this situation occurs after you change the configuration, perform the
following steps to reconfigure the VXIpc 870 Series:
1.
Turn off your computer.
Warning
To protect both yourself and the mainframe from electrical hazards,
the mainframe should remain off until you are finished changing the settings on
the VXIpc 870 Series.
2.
Change switch S1 to the position shown in Figure 3-4b to restore the
factory configuration.
3.
Turn on the computer. The computer should boot this time because the
factory-default configuration is being used to initialize the VXIpc 870
Series.
4.
Run your software configuration utility to re-adjust the VXIpc 870
Series configuration.
5.
After saving the configuration, exit Windows and turn off the
computer.
6.
Change switch S1 to the default position, as shown in Figure 3-4a.
7.
Turn on the computer. If the computer does not boot with this
configuration, you will need to repeat these steps, modifying your
configuration until a final configuration is reached.
