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."
