1. Board DIP-switches SW1-1 to SW1-4 are currently used to set the addresses of the boards on the
UBUS backplane. A 0 is ON (Closed); a 1 is OFF (Open). The E1 jumper on the back of the Acc-
Ux UBUS backplane board must be ON to use the DIP-switch addressing. SW1-5 and SW1-6 must
be ON (Closed).

The Vendor ID field is an 8-bit value that reports the manufacturer of the board. Delta Tau boards
report a value of 1 in this field.

The Options field is a 10-bit field that is typically used as a set of individual bits to report which
options are present on the board. The meaning of each bit is board-dependent.

The Revision Number field is a 4-bit value that represents the design revision (0 to 15) of the board.
For Delta Tau boards, this value matches the x in the –10x part number suffix for the board.
