4. Determine the capacity requirements of the selected IOAs using "Hard Rules: IOA
Capabilities" on page 286. Enter the values in the form below 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
appears as shown in the following figure.
