Sarnath, Dan is completely correct, it is relative so you need to first *carefully read* the comments in sandpoint_setup.c that describe the switch setting, *understand them*, and then *follow them*. Especially the part where it says: " * 'down' is in the direction from the PCI slots towards the PPMC slot; * 'up' is in the direction from the PPMC slot towards the PCI slots. * Be careful, the way the sandpoint board is installed in XT chasses will * make the directions reversed." > Just keep in mind the troubles are local to your configuration, as this software > operates fine on a properly configured board.
