Bus Converter (BC) and HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter Cards
Bus Converter and HP-HSC Bus Converter cards (997/T600) must be installed according
to the following rules:
All bus converter cards must be installed in the rear of the PMB card cage in slots 0
through 5. A maximum of four BC cards can be installed on 990/992/890, 991/995/T500,
and 996/T520 Systems; six can be installed on 997/T600 Systems. The rules for installing
cards are as follows:
The first BC card must be installed in PMB card slot 0.
Additional bus converter cards must be installed in the following sequence:
Slots 1, 2, 3 (on 990/992/890, 991/995/T500, and 996/T520 Systems); and 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5 (on 997/T600 Systems). If a memory card is installed in one of these slots,
move the memory card to another valid slot.
Before you can install HP-HSC I/O Bus Converters, you may have to attach any HP-PB I/O
Bus Converters and HSC I/O cards that the customer ordered onto the HP-HSC I/O Bus
Converter.
Guidelines for Attaching HP-PB I/O Bus Converters and HSC I/O Cards to
HP-HSC I/O Bus Converters
1. Attach the HP-PB I/O Bus Converter to the HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter only at module
0 or module 2. Use the following rules to attach them to the HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter:
a. Attach one HP-PB I/O Bus Converter per HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter until you have
attached all of the HP-PB I/O Bus Converters.
b. If you have more HP-PB I/O Bus Converters than HP-HSC I/O Bus Converters,
attach a second HP-PB I/O Bus Converter to each HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter until
you have installed all of the HP-PB I/O Bus Converters.
