 There is a large patch panel in the main PEARL cabin which links to the blockhouse ports, sat above some Eurotherm racks. The confusing bit - there are also ports that live outside the setup cabin, on the left side above the beamline itself. Ports 1-5 here ALSO route through to the large rack-mounted patch panel which lives in the main cabin. For example, port 3 outside the setup cabin, commonly used for the `PACE 5000` pressure controller, routes to port 3 on the large patch panel (in the rack in the PEARL cabin). This is then fed to the Moxa which is sat above. Each of the ports on the large patch panel have a code that looks like `9MC4180` which means nothing to us - we only care about the patch panel number which is underneath.

-2. MiniInst: As a provider of IOCs which are used by SECI
+2. MiniInst: As a minimal system running only a small number of IBEX IOCs

 On a system reboot IBEX should start but only if it was running when the machine was shut down. Whether IBEX was running is recorded by the contents of a file (<add file path>) - this will be done as part of ticket [#1950](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/1950). The reboot behaviour is achieved by placing start_ibex_server script in the startup directory.
 
 Start behaviour:
 * If IBEX is running and IBEX is requested to start then IBEX should restart itself (this should have minimal data loss).
-* If SECI is running and IBEX is requested to start then IBEX should kill it on start and remove the file which claims it is the only running control software.
-* If full IBEX is running and SECI starts it will kill IBEX using the stop IBEX server script - this ticket [#1951](https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/1951).
