Migrating Host Processor Release 1 or 2 to Full-Feature Workstation

The AT&T 6386/25 used as the 6820 Release 1 and Release 2 host processor can be converted to a full-feature workstation in Release 4.2 NMS. The conversion procedures for both host processors are nearly identical.

To convert the host processor into a full-feature workstation, perform the following tasks:

•Remove unnecessary circuit cards from the processor

•Install a 3COM 3C503 EtherLink II card or StarLAN 10 Network Access Unit circuit card

•Low-level format the hard disk

•Load MS-DOS, X-One, and the full-feature workstation software

•Install the Paradise Windows Accelerator video card

Below is a step-by-step procedure for the host processor conversion. This procedure assumes the reuse of the StarLAN NAU card. See Chapter 2, Preparing the Processors, for details regarding installation of a 3COM 3C503 EtherLink II card.

1.Open the 6386/25 computer. The procedure is described in detail in Chapter 2 of the COMSPHERE 6820 NMS Installation and Maintenance Guide.

2.Identify the circuit cards that must be removed from the 6386/25. Table 2-10 shows all cards that must be removed.

3.Remove each of the cards by removing the chassis screw and gently lifting up the two ends of the card.
