Rotary Switch Setup (All Controllers)

Each Slot Controller module has a 16-position rotary switch that controls the way the slot initializes.
Select the correct position for the configuration of your system.
valid switch position. Detailed definitions for each boot mode are provided below.
You MUST set the rotary switches on each Slot-0 Controller for redundant Slot-0 operation. This
is accomplished by setting one slot controller as Main (switch setting 0), and the other as
Standby (switch setting 4). If set improperly, redundant operation will not function.
Boot Mode Definitions
• Normal Boot
In this mode, the slot attempts to read mpro1.cod from the flash EPROM. If the file cannot
be found, then the slot attempts to perform a TFTP boot from Slot-0. In the case of Slot-0, this
mode allows you to download code via the manager port.
• TFTP Boot
In this mode, the slot ignores a local or mpro1.cod file and attempts to TFTP /mpro1.cod
from Slot-0. In the case of Slot-0, the slot will not attempt to perform a TFTP boot.
• Boot Menu
In this mode, the slot comes up running boot mode menus. This provides a subset of the
conventional user interface that is sufficient for configuring the slot so that a TFTP can be
performed. In the case of Slot-0, this mode allows you to download code via the manager port.
• Format Disk Boot Mode
In this mode, the slot automatically formats the flash EPROM on boot up. After using this
mode, the boot switch should be reset to the normal setting.

Special Considerations
• Rotary Switch positions 1, 3, 5, 7, and B through E are unused.
• The ECC and the ISG slot controllers do not support redundant Slot-0 system configurations.
• The STM must be used in the Slot-0 Standby position of a Xedge 6640 or Xedge 6645 system.
