INSTALLING THE ADAPTERS

2.4.3 Installing the F70XX Model Adapters

The F30XX and F70XX models are a family of FDDI adapters that
are identical in all respects (see Figure 2-1, Nomenclature, F30XX
and F70XX Model Adapters) except the computer bus interface,
and the computer configuration procedure.
IMPORTANT: Some EISA Bus compatible computers do not support
Bus Master adapters in all slots. To determine where an available Bus
Master slot is located (before you install an F70XX model FDDI adapter),
run the EISA configuration program that came with your computer; it
will indicate the location of available Bus Master slots.
To install the F70XX model FDDI adapter in your computer, use
the procedure that follows:
• From the Cabletron software diskette, copy the EISA
configuration file !CSI06090.CFG onto a copy of your system
configuration diskette.
• Using your computer's EISA configuration program, follow
the instructions in your computer user's manual for installing
a new adapter.
• When prompted, select the Bus Master slot that you wish to
install the adapter in. Follow the instructions in your computer
user's manual for configuring the adapter's parameters
(interrupt level, and Boot PROM size and Base Address, if
applicable).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to Save the Settings after configuration.
• Exit the configuration utility. When you are asked to do so by
the configuration utility, power down the computer.
• Remove the configuration diskette. Following instructions in
your computer user's manual, install the F70XX adapter in the
Bus Master slot you selected.
