PCI Card Placement Rules
2. Determine the capacity values for the selected IOP using the "IOP Capacity Table" on
page 285. Enter the values on line 6 of the Configuration Validation Form.
The #2843 IOP has a memory capacity value of 211 and a performance capacity value of
100. Those values are entered on line 6.
3. Identify the IOAs to be controlled by the selected IOP.
Three #4746s and a #2749 will be controlled by the #2843.
4. Determine the capacity requirements of the selected IOAs using "Hard Rules: IOA
Capabilities" on page 286. Enter the values in the form on lines 1 through 4, one IOA per
line. Remember that an IOP supports a maximum of four IOAs.
The appropriate values were entered on lines 1 through 4. The slots that the cards will
occupy have also been entered.
5. Review "Soft Rules: IOA Requirements" on page 289. If any of the restrictions described
apply to the selected IOAs, use the values from the table to replace the values in the
Configuration Validation Form unless the value in a particular column is less than the
default value for the IOA. When determining the values to use, be sure to account for both
lines if you have selected the #4745 and #9771.
There are no soft rules that apply to the selected cards.
6. Add the IOA values in each column. Place the totals on line 5.
7. Compare the totals in line 5 with the IOP Capacity in line 6.
All the numbers in line 5 are less than or equal to the corresponding values in line 6.
Therefore, the configuration is valid.

Once the IOAs specified for the embedded IOP are installed, the Model 820 Card Enclosure
will appear as shown in the following figure.
