Installing an NTAK02 SDI/DCH card

On an Option 11 system, if there is no port available on the CPU/Conf or TDS/DTR cards, you can obtain additional SDI or ESDI ports by installing an NTAK02 SDI/DCH card before the IPE Module is configured.

This card provides the communication connection for the AML link from the Option 11 to the IPE Module. The Option 11 port used for the AML link connection must be configured for DCE and RS-232, and the switches set for ESDI.

This card also provides a connection for the conshare feature. The port used for conshare must be configured for DCE and the switches set for SDI.

1Unpack and inspect the card.

2Set the switches as shown in Table 37. Set the jumpers as shown in Table 38.

3Insert the card into a common equipment slot and lock it into position.
