AT&T IPC-1600 manual Hardware Installation

Introduction

The IPC-1600 board can be installed in any 16-bit or 32-bit bus expansion slot in following machines:

■AT&T 6386E Work Group System

■AT&T 6386/25 Work Group System

■AT&T 6386E/33 Work Group System

■AT&T 6386E/33 Work Group System Model S.

Refer to the appropriate “User's Guide” supplied with your machine for board installation instructions. This chapter guides you through the process of installing the appropriate hardware. However, refer to the documentation that came with your system for instructions on how to install/remove a bus expansion slot board.

Also, be sure to refer to the notes you were instructed to make when you were installing the software (Chapters 2 and 3). You will need these notes to set the various switch settings on the IPC-1600 board.

Although this chapter does not explicitly cover removing a board or installing an additional board or boards at a later time, the instructions provided here can help you do future hardware changes.

Note: Each IPC-1600 board in the system must be assigned a unique I/O address, a controller memory address range, and a hardware Interrupt ReQuest (IRQ) level which do not conflict with any other board types in the system. All IPC-1600 boards in a system must be set up to support ONE of the following conditions:

1.Share controller memory and share one IRQ level (preferred condition)

2.Share controller memory and have unique IRQ levels

3.Unique controller memory address assignments and share one IRQ level

4.Unique controller memory address assignments and unique IRQ levels.
