Additional card warning messages

If you install more than one UltraPort, UltraPort SI or UltraPort Express host card, or install additional cards at a later date, the following warning messages will be displayed (they appear immediately following the driver initialisation messages shown on page 140).

Note

Display of these messages and update of Speed Node and Init files only occurs once after installation of additional cards. This takes place during system start-up.

Message	This message tells you that...
WARNING: Speed Node file updated	The speed node file has been updated to include
- old file moved to /etc/conf/node.d/spd_nnnnnnnn	the revised number of ports.
	Your old Speed node file is retained with the
	file name shown in the message. 'nnnnnnnn'
	is a unique number so that previous Speed
	node files are not lost on updating.
WARNING: New Speed ports detected	You now have additional entries in the Speed
- /etc/conf/node.d/spd being updated	init file, existing entries are retained
	unchanged. The automatic init file update is
	necessary to make any additional nodes
	available in the Speed Port Configuration
	tool.

Hint

If you have modified your Speed node file, (for example you may have changed the default permission for security reasons), you may wish to re-instate the previous node set-up for existing Speed ports.

If you have not modified your Speed node file or do not require to retain the old settings you may safely delete the file shown in the first message.
