If you add or replace an SCI adapter card on a node that has already been
configured by sm_config, perform the steps described in this chapter to initialize

already contain SUNWsci and the other SCI-related packages. If not—that is, if you
will be installing these SUNW packages as part of the adapter card installation
process—perform the steps described in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 instead, but only
on the node receiving the SCI-related packages and new adapter card.

Install/Replace SCI Adapter Card

Turn the node's power switch off and disconnect it from the power outlet. Note that
this only needs to be done on the node receiving the new adapter card.
Check the scrubber jumper setting on the new card and change its setting if needed.
4 If replacing an existing SCI adapter card without changing any other features of
the network, simply give the new adapter card the same scrubber jumper setting
as the one it is replacing.
4 If installing a new adapter card that will be connected directly to another adapter
