The EPC setup menu for the fixed disk drive does not relate to any disk drives attached to the EXM-16. In particular, do not specify SCSI for the fixed disk drive in the EPC setup screen unless you are using the EXM-16 with an EXP-MS which contains an integrated SCSI disk and controller.

VMEbus slot and attach it to the chassis. Then remove any blank EXM panel from the carrier (by unscrewing the thumbscrews) and insert the EXM-16 into the card guides. Firmly press the EXM-16 front panel to ensure that it has mated with the rear connector, and secure it with the thumbscrews.

Figure 1 FUSE and JUMPER LOCATION A jumper on the EXM-16 selects either GND or fused VCC to pins 7, 9, and 11 of the floppy connector. This is a two position jumper (three stake pins) that is labeled "Enable +5 -> FDD" with positions that are labeled ON or OFF. Select the ON position to connect VCC to pins 7, 9, and 11 of the floppy connector.

Warning: If the jumper is set to the ON position, then using a twisted cable will blow the fuse. This configuration is not supported. The following table summarizes the possible configurations: EXM-16 Jumper position EXM-16 Jumper position Floppy power Floppy power...

This displays the data (in hexadecimal) stored in nonvolatile memory describing the EXM configuration. ID is the EXM's ID (the ID for EXM-16 is DFh; the ID for "no device expected" is FF). OB1 and OB2 are two bytes of option information.
DEFAULT SETTINGS The recommended settings for an enabled EXM-16 are OB1 and OB2 set to FFh. The recommended settings for a disabled EXM- 16 are OB1 and OB2 set to 00h. Note that the default is to disable the floppy controller. This is because most users will use the EXM-16 in combination with another EXM or DISK module that has a floppy controller enabled.
This specifies the SCSI BIOS for the SCSI controller on the EXM-3 and the EXP-MX/MS. This SCSI BIOS is provided in the main BIOS of the EPC and is not compatible with the SCSI controller on the EXM-16. Ensure that the EXM-16 is in the proper slot (consistent with the EXM configuration information) and that the configuration data specifies that both the EXM-16 and SCSI interface are enabled.
(F2 from the main setup menu), make sure that the floppy enable bit is set correctly and that there are no conflicts with other floppy controllers. Note that the EXM-16 when operated with an EXM-3, EXM-9, EXP-MX, EXP- MANUAL 41417-108-03A...
The fuse is blown on the EXM-16. A fuse exists on the EXM-16 that connects VCC to pins 7, 9, and 11 of the floppy connector. If the EXM-16 has the jumper positioned such that fused VCC is attached to these pins and a floppy drive that connects GND to these signals is used, then the fuse may be blown.

EXMbus line -EXMID is asserted. An 8-bit read from I/O address 100h returns the value DF, the device ID of the EXM-16. A read/write configuration register appears at I/O address 102h and 103h. The defined bits are: Card enable specifies whether the EXM-16 is enabled (1) or disabled (0).

D-page settings. The extension ROM must be enabled if you want to boot from a SCSI disk drive that is attached to the EXM-16. Also, the fixed disk setting in the EPC setup screen fixed disk menu should be set to NONE.
