Page 24: Gbit/S Adapter Connection (B4-E)
2 GBit/s adapter Connection (B4–E) A 2 Gbit/s LP9002L adapter (model B4–E) can also operate at 1 Gbit/s in exactly the same configurations as the LP8000 optical model (B4–B). For these kind of links, you need a “LC2 to SC2” optical cable (MI FOCF003–M0xx: Optical Fibre Multi–Mode (SW) SC–LC Cable xx meters). - Page 25 2. Configure the Adapter You must now select and configure each port of the adapter, from the list displayed, by filling in the physical interface and the protocol adapter type you want to use on it.

- Page 27 Link topology autosensing On AIX 5.1, the default value of the “topology” parameter for LP9002L adapter (model B4–E) is “both”, i.e. loop or point–to–point autosensing. When this “topology” parameter is set to “both”, the PCI adapter and the facing equipment automatically negociate the correct topology. By exception, when the PCI adapter is directly connected to an EMC’s DAS subsystem, this negociation is unsuccesfull: in that case, the user must manually set the “topology”...

Page 35: Chapter 5. Diagnostics And Error Identifiers
Chapter 5. Diagnostics and Error Identifiers Power On Self Test and LEDs When power is applied, the host adapter begins a Power On Self Test (POST), to verify internal operation prior to loading operational software. Green and yellow LEDs are observed through the host adapter mounting bracket. The green LED indicates power functions and yellow indicates port activity. -
Page 36: User Diagnostics
User Diagnostics The user diagnostic program, provided by the smit diag command, must be used to check or identify a failure of the board. It allows the user to run internal loopback tests at DEC chip level. Internal loopback test is used to verify that the internal logic operations function correctly. In loopback mode, the chip takes frames from the transmit list and loops them to the receive list. -
