General Rules for System
Configuration
This appendix lists recommended priorities and locations for:
•
System boards
•
SuperSPARC modules
•
SBus cards
•
SIMMs
•
Drive IDs
•
SCSI cables
•
Ethernet cables
•
Video cables
Each component described in this appendix has a specific recommended
location. The following sections describe the locations for each component.
System boards are factory installed from the lowest card cage slot number (0 —
top slot) to the highest slot number (3 — bottom slot). When you look into the
backplane opening at the rear of the system, slot 0 is on the top and slot 3 is on
the bottom. Air restrictor boards must be installed in all empty slots. Slot 0 is
the system master. If the system has an RS232 console or TTY terminal, it must
be plugged into port A of the system master. A console is not required if the
system is in auto-boot mode.
