Installation Steps
Choose the SCSI IDs and termination options for the drives on the BI-0316. Adjust switch settings

and/or termination options when necessary.
Choose a position for the BI-0316 in the VMEbus rack. Placing the BI-0316 in the last (righter most)

position has several advantages:
a) It eases the bus request and interrupt daisy-chaining in the case that the backplane does not pro-
vide Automatic-Daisy-Chaining (ADC). In the event that there are boards placed in positions right
from the position the BI-0316 occupies, it is necessary to jumper the daisy-chain signals behind the
BI-0316 to allow them to propagate down the chain. The BI-0316 provides daisy-chaining for the first
slot it occupies (see "VMEbus Signals" on page 1-2).
b) The Ground layer in the Printed Circuit Board of the BI-0316 will protect the drives from electrical
interference from the boards to the left of the BI-0316 in the system.
Place the BI-0318 or BI-0319 in opposite of the BI-0316 on the VMEbus J2 backplane or directly on
