6 PCI ESCON Adapter Installation Guide
4. Remove the adapter from its protective anti-static bag and insert the adapter into
the chosen PCI bus slot. Make sure the adapter is fully inserted in the slot. Place
a screw through the top of the mounting bracket and securely fasten to the system
chassis.
5. Replace the system cover.
6. As shown in Figure 2-1, the adapter has two connectors at the card edge; a standard
ESCON connector(top) and a serial port (bottom). Plug the IBM-compatible
ESCON channel cable directly into the ESCON connector. Ensure the cable end is
fully inserted into the socket. You should hear a click as the connector locks into
place. The serial port is for diagnostics and is not used during normal operation.
7. Reinstall the power cable, if removed in step 1, and power on the system.
If your system does not boot successfully or does not power on, ensure that you
have followed these steps or refer to the appropriate manuals for your particular
system referring to adapter installation and power up related troubleshooting.
