IV. PATH FORMAT
On this system, a path has the format:
BC/DA.DEV
BC
= The PMB module of the Bus Converter (BC).
is based on: 1)
BC = (4 * slot number of the BC) + (BC module number)
BC module number is 0 for the lower connector.
Examples:
BC =
=
= 16 for BC card in slot 4, lower connector; (4*4)+0 =16
DA
= The HP-PB module of the device adapter (DA).
Equals 4 * HP-PB slot number of the DA (decimal).
DEV = The ID number of the device, often set on the
device itself (hexadecimal).
Example:
4/36.3
BC = 4
DA = 36
DEV = 3
Values for BC and DA are expressed in decimal notation.
If there are additional values in the path (for example, to specify
a LAN address), these are expressed in hexadecimal notation.

3-62
the slot number of the BC card.
2)
whether the upper or lower connector of
the BC card is used.
2 for the upper connector.
0 for BC card in slot 0, lower connector; (4*0)+0 = 0
2 for BC card in slot 0, upper connector; (4*0)+2 = 2
(decimal format)
4/4 = 1.
The BC is in PMB slot 1; module 0.
36/4 = 9.
The I/O card is in HP-PB slot 9.
The ID on the device is set to 3.
