    New Main PCB only sees 2 axes on 3 axis machine

    I am installing a new main pcb (A16B-1000-0100) on a 3 axis knee mill using a Fanuc 3M control. It came out of a lathe, I think. I have 2 problems:
    1. It only sees 2 axes, named U and W (X,Z). I can get my X and Y axes to move (somewhat) , not Z.
    2. I can not input into any of the parameter settings that are blank (those from 0100-0639).
    I have swapped out the 3 main axis chips from my old board to this one, plus 1 more just above these chips.
    Any ideas on what to do next?

    Thanks.
