Operating Instructions
Introduction
This chapter provides information about powering up the PrPMC800/800ET system, and 
functionality of the status indicators, and I/O ports on the PrPMC800/800ET module. 
Applying Power
After you have verified that all necessary hardware preparation has been done, that all 
connections have been made correctly, and that the installation is complete, you can power up 
the system. The MPU, hardware and firmware initialization process is performed by the 
PPCBug firmware at power-up or system reset. The firmware initializes the devices on the 
PrPMC800/800ET module in preparation for booting the operating system.
The firmware, PPCBug, is shipped from the factory with an appropriate set of defaults. In most 
cases there is no need to modify the firmware configuration before you boot the operating 
system. However, if you choose to do so, refer to 
 for 
further information about modifying these defaults.
The following flowchart shows the basic initialization process that takes place during 
PrPMC800/800ET system start-up.
For further information on PPCBug, refer to 
, or to the PPCBug 
documentation listed in
