Notice that Figure 3-3b also shows switch S5. You must configure these
switches as shown when using the corresponding CLK10 source setting
of S3.

The VXIpc-800 can also be configured to drive the external CLK SMB
signal from the VXIbus CLK10 signal. Switch S5 controls whether the
VXIpc-800 drives or receives the external CLK SMB signal. If you
change the S5 setting to drive CLK10 out the external CLK10 SMB
connector (Figure 3-4b), do not set S3 to source CLK10 to the
backplane from the SMB; instead use the setting shown in Figure 3-3a.
