Connecting I/O Boats to Different Domains

The following notes will appear on page 2-16 of the Sun External I/O Expansion Unit
Installation and Service Manual in Section 2.6, "Installing the Link Kit":
Note – If you are installing a second boat in the External I/O Expansion Unit, both
boats must be connected to the same host server. Do not connect the second boat to
a different server. The second boat can be connected to a different domain on the
same server, but not to a domain on a different server.
Note – Do not daisy-chain two boats (connect a boat to another boat through link
cards). Daisy-chain configurations are not allowed.
The new notes will be repeated on page 1-36 of the manual, in Section 1.4.2, "Dual
Boat Configuration."
These notes will replace the following note that is currently on page 2-16:
Note – If you are installing a second boat in the External I/O Expansion Unit, both
boats must be connected to the same host server. Do not connect the second boat to
a different server. Also, do not connect the second boat to the first boat; a daisy-
chain configuration is not allowed.
