On the M7260 module is at the upper left corner (see the picture) a rotary switch to set the desired baudrate of the terminal connected on the SCL. See the table below for the available baudrates with the corresponding switch settings.
You can connect an oscilloscope or a frequency counter to the E02 D2 pin on the backplane to measure the clock. The table lists the period time that you can count on the grid of the oscilloscope. The frequency read-out on the frequency counter should be 16 times the desired baudrate.

S1 switch position	-- RANGE 1 --		-- RANGE 2 --
	baudrate [Baud]	period µsec	baudrate [Baud]	period µsec
1	2400	26	1760	35.5
2	1200	52	880	71
3	600	104	440	142
4	300	208	220	284
5	150	416	110	568

If the measured value is too far off from the correct value, or you see garbage characters on the terminal, you can adjust the clock rate with the potentiometer near the rotary switch at the edge of the board.
To adjust the SCL clock to the desired baud rate, do the following steps.

1. Switch the computer off (...)!
2. Disconnect the Berg header connector to the console.
3. Remove the M7260 module from the backplane.
4. Set the baud rate adjustment switch S1 to the position as indicated in the table.
5. Install the M7260 module, connect the flatcable of the console and turn on the power.
6. Connect an oscilloscope or frequency counter to the pin E02 D2 on the backplane.
7. Adjust the potentiometer R29 to get the correct baud rate.
