Why does the SYSFAIL LED come on when the VXIbus timeout is changed in the VXI/VME Configuration Editor?

Hardware: VXI/VME/MXI>>VME Controllers, VXI/VME/MXI>>VXI Controllers

Problem: Why does the SYSFAIL LED come on when the VXIbus timeout is changed in the VXI/VME Configuration Editor?

Solution: The lighting of the Sysfail LED is normal. Whenever the EEPROM is updated with a new configuration, the update
takes place by writing to A32 space. Changing something as fundamental as the VXIbus timeout requires
that the MITE chipset be reset through a power cycle of the chassis. When this is performed, the Sysfail LED
will no longer be lit.
