INSTALLING THE LANIC
I
CAUTION

SOME OF THE COMPONENTS USED IN THIS PRODUCT ARE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE BY STATIC DISCHARGE. REFER TO THE
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS INFORMATION AT THE FRONT OF THIS
MANUAL BEFORE HANDLING THE CARD.
Install the LANIC as follows:
I
CAUTION
I
ALL SYSTEM POWER MUST BE OFF WHEN INSTALLING OR
REMOVING ANY DEVICE OR CARD IN THE SYSTEM.
1. Before installing the LANIC, perform a full HP 3000 backup.
2. Shut down MPE.
3. Ensure that SW2 is set to the intended channel address.
(It
may be useful to obtain an IOMAP of all
devices presently on the system. Refer to the
HP 3000 System Operation and Resource Management
Reference Manual, part number 32033-90005
for details.)
4. Turn off all system power.
5. Open the door of the I/O section card cage on the back of the HP 3000 Computer system.
6. Insert the LANIC card into a vacant card cage slot as follows:
The LANIC is considered to be a high -speed channel and, as such, must be configured so that its
priority is higher than any
q.~.
Priority is established by the position of I/O cards in the card
cage; the closer to the CPU (or the IMBI in the case of the Series 64 and
(8),
the higher the
priority.
Series 39, 40, 42. The LANIC can be installed in any slot in the range of 13 through 25. The
adding of the LANIC card may require the movement of cards in the card cage to give the LANIC
the required relative priority.
Slots 13 and 14 are unique in the Series 39, 40, and 42 in that they are interdependent upon slot
15 in some situations. Specifically, if either a GIC, SIB, or LANIC occupies slot 13 and/or 14, and
if slots 16 through 25 have one or more GICs, SIBs, or LANICs, then a GIC, SIB, or LANIC
MUST
be in slot 15.
Note that the card in slot 15 need not be identical to the others under consideration. For instance,
if a GIC is in slot 13, and a GIC, SIB, or LANIC is in 16 through 25, then anyone of the three
may be installed in 15.
If
ADCCs are installed in 13 and 14, as is commonly the case, there are no special considerations
involving slot 15.
