DIP Switch Settings and Connectors

This section provides detailed information about the sever-module board DIP switch settings. It also
provides some basic information on switches and describes the connectors on the various boards in
the system.
DIP Switch Settings—A General Explanation
DIP switches provide a convenient and reversible way of reconfiguring the circuitry on a printed circuit
board. When reconfiguring the system, you may need to change DIP switch settings on circuit boards or
drives.

DIP Switches

DIP switches are small blocks on a circuit board with one or more slide switches emerging from them.
Each slide switch on the DIP switch is designated by a number. To change a DIP switch setting, move
the appropriate slide switch to either the "on" or "off" position. Figure 6-1 shows an example of a DIP
switch.
