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 18 on page 112, to reflect the selected
Bus I/O Address correct value.

11. Shut down and power-off the system.

12. Physically install 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:

cxia

Available 1- 2 IBM 128-Port Async, EIA-232 (ISA)

16. Once the adapter status is

Available

, you may proceed to configure the serial

devices on its ports using the

smit devices

fastpath.

6.6 4-Port Multi-Protocol ISA Adapter (FC 2701)

This section provides information needed for installing and configuring the 4-Port
Multi-Protocol ISA Adapter. This adapter can be ordered as an optional feature on
PCI-based RS/6000 servers.

The 4-Port Multi-Protocol ISA Adapter provides asynchronous support and
synchronous communication. The adapter consists of a base card and a daughter
card. The two cards are physically connected and require a single ISA bus card
slot.

The device driver for 4-Port Multi-Protocol ISA Adapter is included in
devices.isa.mm2 fileset.

Note

Refer to the

4-Port Multi-Protocol ISA Adapter Installation Guide shipped with

the adapter for detailed information on this adapter.

6.6.1 Cable Selections for 4-Port Multiprotocol Interface

This adapter can support four different physical interfaces by using an IBM 4-Port
Multiprotocol Interface Cable (feature #2705).

This cable is 3.1 meters (10 feet) long. It has a 78-pin connector on one end and a
molded distribution block on the other end that contains six 25-pin connectors and
three 15-pin connector for the different physical interfaces supported.
