IMPLEMENTING A DUAL ATTACH STATION

The Dual Attach Station configuration is implemented by
installing a "daughter board." The daughter board plugs into a slot
adjacent to the F30/F70XX FDDI adapter and connects to the FDDI
adapter by a pair of ribbon cables. The daughter board provides
the additional FDDI connectors and ancillary circuitry for Dual
Attach Station operation.
The daughter board obtains its power from the bus slot it is
plugged into. Figures 3-4 and 3-5, provide instructions for
installing the daughter board and connecting the daughter board
to the FDDI adapter.
