I can never remember what the rotary and toggle switch positions mean. > Just be sure to follow the grant chain - the BA23 and BA123 have a > hybrid backplane where the first few slots are CD slots and the rest > are serpentine (3 CD slots for BA23, 5 CD slots for BA123). First 4 slots of a BA123 are Q22/CD, not the first 5. Page 22 of the PDF, page 1-11, Figure 1-9 Backplane Grant Continuity of the same manual referenced above.
