3.3 Installing an SP Switch Router Adapter Card

This section contains the procedure for physical installation and minimal configuration of the SP Switch Router Adapter card for use as an SP dependent node. This includes cabling the GRF to the SP CWS and the appropriate SP Switch port.

Note: There needs to be a network path between Ethernet twisted-pair interface on the SP Switch Router control board and the SP control workstation. This is most easily done through an Ethernet hub (or bridge to the 10BaseT SP LAN). However, it can also be done through a connection to a network external to the SP.

3.3.1 Installation Overview

IBM support personnel who install the SP Switch Router (9077) perform the physical installation and minimal configuration described below with help from the customer’s system administrator. The system administrator must complete the following basic configuration steps:

1.Locate all the components of the SP Switch Router chip group.

2.Perform the complete physical installation of the SP Switch Router unit as described in the "Power On and Initial Configuration" chapter of GRF 400/ 1600 Getting Started 1.4, GA22-7368. Make sure that when the "First-time power on configuration script" runs at system boot, the required configuration information is provided by or entered by the customer. This information includes the SP Switch Router unit IP address and hostname. As stated before, ignore script references to network or syslog logging.

3.Perform the procedure to configure the PCMCIA disk. The procedure is included in Section 3.3.2, “Installing the PCMCIA Spinning Disk” on page 76.
