Pre-Startup Check; Applying Power - Motorola MBX Series Installation And Use Manual

Pre-Startup Check

Before you power up the MBX system, be sure that the following
conditions exist:
After you complete the checks listed above, you are ready to power up the
system.

Applying Power

Applying power (as well as resetting the system) triggers an initialization
of the MPU, the hardware, and the firmware. The firmware initializes the
devices on the MBX board in preparation for booting the operating system.
The firmware is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of
2Startup and Operation
Jumpers and/or configuration switches on the MBX and
associated equipment are set as required for your application.
The EPPCBug boot ROM is known to be present in socket XU1
on the top side of the MBX board (if booting from the socketed
device); or the EPPCBug firmware is known to be installed in the
Flash devices on the secondary side of the board (if booting from
32-bit Flash).
The MBX board is installed and cabled up as appropriate for your
chassis or system, as outlined in
Procedures.
Any devices you wish to use, such as a host computer system
and/or a parallel printer, are cabled to the appropriate headers.
The terminal that you plan to use as the EPPCBug system console
is connected to the EIA-232-D console port (J18 on the MBX
board) and properly configured (eight bits per character, one stop
bit per character, no parity, 9600 baud).
