Supported Software Drivers

The software drivers for the PCI and PMC Adapters are contained in the Windows NT 3.51 and the AIX 4.1 operating systems, respectively.

Note The PMC Adapter and the PCI Adapter use the same software drivers. Whether the adapter is installed to a PCI slot (PCI Adapter) or to a PMC mezzanine slot (PMC Adapter), the selection of a driver is based upon the operating system in use by the host computer; not by the configuration of the system hardware.

The PCI and PMC Adapters are sensitive to static

! electricity. Do not touch any components or metal parts

Caution without using a grounding strap. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, handle the adapter only while wearing a grounding strap.

System Requirements

Minimum system requirements to operate the PCI and PMC

Adapters are as follows:

Hardware:

ÐPower PC systems operating under Windows NT 3.51 or later

ÐPower PC systems operating under AIX 4.1 or later

Bus Architecture:

ÐThe I/O interface must comply to PCI Local Bus specification Revision 2.0 or greater

16MB total system memory.
