running the eisa_config utility in “Conﬁguration for (older) EISA

Cards” in Chapter 2.

If you have a S715/33, S720, or S730 model, remove the EISA system

interface, insert the card into the card guide on the EISA interface,

and place the whole unit back into the system following the

instructions in the EISA Token Ring Quick Installation guide and

the EISA Token Ring Network Adapter manual. If you have any

other model, the EISA interface is not removable.

Series 800 HP-PB: Set the ring speed on the card and install the

card following the instructions in the HP-PB Token Ring Network

Adapter manual.

NOTE For systems with multiple slots, always install cards in the lowest

available slot. HP recommends installing add-on LAN cards in the

lower slots in the system backplane and then the add-on Token Ring

cards in the higher slots in the system backplane.
