Introduction; Applying Power - Motorola MVME2301 Installation And Use Manual

Introduction

This chapter provides information about powering up the
MVME230x system, and functionality of the switches, status
indicators, and I/O ports on the front panels of the MVME230x and
PMCspan modules.

Applying Power

After you have verified that all necessary hardware preparation has
been done, that all connections have been made correctly, and that
the installation is complete, you can power up the system. The
MPU, hardware, and firmware initialization process is performed
by the PPCBug firmware power-up or system reset. The firmware
initializes the devices on the MVME230x module in preparation for
booting the operating system.
The firmware is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of
defaults. In most cases there is no need to modify the firmware
configuration before you boot the operating system. Refer to
Chapter 6 for further information about modifying defaults.
The following flowchart shows the basic initialization process that
takes place during MVME230x system start-ups.
For further information on PPCbug, refer to Chapter 5, PPCBug; to
Appendix D, Troubleshooting the MVME230x; or to the PPCBug
documentation listed in Appendix A.
