It does not matter. You should use this procedure just to make sure that the
selected adapter parameter is correct.

9. If the Bus I/O Address is in conflict with the parameter setting for another ISA

adapter already installed, the following message will be displayed:

sa3 Defined
lsresource : The attribute(s) for some device(s) in the system
could not be resolved.

To resolve conflicts, attribute(s) need to be

modified.

A suggested value for each attribute is provided.

514- 4 Error initializing a device into the kernel.

sa3 deleted

Change the parameter value as suggested by the

lsresource

command, and

press Enter.

10. Once no parameters conflicts are reported, you can set the DIP switches on

the adapter card as described in Table 17 on page 109 to reflect the selected
Bus I/O Address's correct value.

11. Shut down and power-off the system.

12. Install physically the adapter on an ISA slot.

13. Power-on and reboot the system.

14. Configure the adapter using the fastpath

smit isa

, and repeat the procedure

from step 5 to step 8.

15. Verify the results with the following command:

lsdev -Cc adapter -s isa

If the configuration was successful, the adapter will be available, and the
system will display information similar to the following:

sa3

Available 1- 1 IBM 8-Port Async, EIA-232 (ISA)

16. Once the adapter status is

Available

, you may proceed to configure the serial

devices on its ports by using the

smit devices

fastpath.

6.5 128-Port EIA-232 Asynchronous ISA Adapter (FC 2933)

This section provides information needed for installing and configuring the 128-Port
Asynchronous ISA Adapter. This adapter can be ordered as an optional feature on
PCI-based RS/6000 servers.

The 128-Port Asynchronous ISA Adapter provides support for attaching a maximum
of 128 EIA-232D asynchronous serial devices (such as terminals, modems and
printers) to a system unit when used with one or more optional Remote
Asynchronous Nodes 16-Port EIA-232. It contains the following components:
