E1406-1 : Set the Command Module as Resource Manager

Set the Command Module as resource manager by setting its logical address

to 0. (The Command Module’s factory-set logical address is 0.)

At power-on, the resource manager function is started. The purpose of the

resource manager is to:

• identify all plug-in modules installed in the C-size mainframe

• set commander/servant hierarchies whereby one or more plug-in

modules control other plug-in modules

• perform A24/A32 address mapping so that modules requiring

additional addressing can receive it

• allocate interrupt lines to manage communication between interrupt

handler modules and interrupter modules

• start system operation

Once the power-on sequence is completed and the system is started, the

resource manager is no longer used. See Appendix A, "Terms and

Definitions," for more information on the resource manager.
