Troubleshooting Using Reset Circuits
The PC Interface board uses a combination of removable jumpers and test points
to manipulate circuit reset for troubleshooting.
There are two PCI busses on the PC Interface board; the PC motherboard
primary PCI bus, and the L2 PCI bus. A hardware fault on any of these busses
can prevent Windows from starting properly.

Figure 6--28: The PCI busses
By grounding test points TP1102 or TP1103 (see Figure 6--29) you can selective-
ly remove components from the PC motherboard primary PCI bus. This is useful
when Windows will not start. The PC Interface board components on the PC
motherboard primary PCI bus are the 21152 transparent bridge, and the 69000
video adapter.
