Wasn't this system preconfigured when you got it?
That would say to me that it was likely already 90-99%
ready.
At any rate it will be useful to record the card and slot
location info for your system for later.

The cables are labelled P1 and P2. Locate the pin 1 point
on the source, cable and destination and line 'em all up,
once for each cable.

Might be useful but more likely with this system is that it
would boot by loading just one address first, just my hunch
for now.
