Updating the Device Driver

|
|
To update the device driver for the 128-Port ASYNC adapter, perform the following:
|
1. Move the .rpm device package to the HMC.
|
2. At the command prompt, enter rpm -i -force epca-1.51-2.i386.rpm

Connect the Serial Cables from the pSeries 690 to the 128-Port ASYNC Adapters

|
|
Up to two optional 128-port async adapters can be installed. The D-shell connectors on
|
the back of the adapter attach to RANs. Serial cables can be connected from any of the
|
ports on a RAN to the HMC1 ports on the managed systems.
|
If you are using a second, redundant HMC, connect cables from all the pSeries 690
| HMC1 ports to the RAN on one HMC, and connect all the pSeries 690 HMC2 ports to
|
the RANs on the other HMC. The use of the second HMC system serial port is not
|
recommended because this port is defaulted to be used for the modem, and requires a
|
number of configuration steps to work with the pSeries 690.
The device driver is installed as /lib/modules/2.4.9–12/misc/epca.o
If lib/modules/2.4.9-12/kernel/drivers/char/epca.o exists, remove it.
