Preparing the Processors

Preinstallation Checks for the Token Ring Card

The Proteon P1990plus Network Interface Card requires no jumper or switch settings on the card. All settings are configured using the EISA Configuration Utility.

Optional UIP Upgrade Procedures

Once you have obtained the desired field upgrade package and prepared it for installation, you can then install the circuit card(s) in the UIP. The procedures for installing circuit cards in the UIP are the same as those for installing in the Altos System 5000 host processor. Refer to the sections, Installing Circuit Cards in the System 5000 and Closing the System 5000.

Converting Altos 5000 Processors to Release 4.2 UIPs

Altos 5000 processors from previous releases of NMS can be converted to UIPs for Release 4.2 NMS. The steps taken depend on what use the System 5000 had under the previous NMS and how it will be used with Release 4.2. Table 2-4 describes the major actions to be taken when converting a ªSourceº system to a 4.2 UIP.
