Complete the Configuration Form
Complete an TRSA Configuration Form for each TRSA you are adding to your system.
Figure 2-1 on page 2-4 shows an example of a completed Token-Ring ServerNet
Adapter (TRSA) Configuration Form.
When you add an adapter to a NonStop™ Himalaya S-series system, you specify:
•
The name you want to use to identify the adapter; for example, E0153 for a Token-
Ring adapter in slot 53 of the first system enclosure.
•
The location of the adapter within the system cabinet (group, module, and slot).
•
The processors that have access to the SACs on the adapter.
Before you begin the hardware installation, you should complete a TRSA configuration
form. Obtain the form from Appendix A, TRSA Configuration Form
, and enter the
following information:
•
The name of the system in the System Name field.
•
The group number for this enclosure in the Group Number field.
•
The slot number of this TRSA in the Slot Number field. TRSAs can be installed
in slots 51, 52, 53 and 54 of an I/O enclosure (expansion) but only 53 and 54 of
a processor enclosure. Figure 2-2
on page 2-5 shows the possible slot locations
for the TRSA.
•
Note that because there is exactly one module in a system or I/O enclosure, the
module number, 1, is already indicated on the form.
•
Enter the remaining information needed to install the TRSA:
•
The IP address.
•
The adapter name (See Manufacturing Naming Conventions on page 1-8).
•
The numbers of the processors that will have access to the SAC in the SAC
Access List field. The first processor listed is the preferred processor.
•
The PIF name associated with the SAC in the PIF Name field.
•
The LIF name associated with the PIF in the LIF Name field.
•
When you have completed this form, enter today’s date in the Date field.
