Notes:

Refer to the document

Adapters, Devices, and Cable Information for Multi

Bus Systems, SA38-0516-00, for detailed information on DIP-switch
positions for setting other parameter values.

The

on and off DIP-switch selections are set by switching them down and

up, respectively. The mapping is:

off = up
on = down

a

This switch is factory set to indicate the size of RAM installed on the

adapter. Verify that the position of this switch is

on to reflect a RAM size of

512 KB.

b

Indicates whether a one-edge (62-pin) or a two-edge (62-pin and

36-pin) connector is used to hold your adapter.
on = two-edged / off = one-edged

c

Sets the bus width and should generally be set to 8-bit.

on = 8-bit / off = 16-bit

6.7.2 Configuring the Adapter

The following procedures apply to every PCI-based RS/6000 system that supports
the X.25 Interface Co-Processor ISA Adapter.

The configuration for this adapter requires you to specify the Interrupt Level, the
Bus I/O Address and the Bus Memory Address to be used with the adapter.

1. Check if there are any ISA adapters that are already installed in your computer

by using the following command:

lsdev -Cc adapter -s isa

Default Parameters

If this is the first adapter of this type on the system, you may select the
default values:

Interrupt Level = 11
Bus I/O Address = 0x2a0
Bus Memory = 0X0e0000

and go directly to step number 9.

2. If any ISA adapter is installed, check for available Interrupt Level values by

entering the following command:

lsresource -l bus -a | grep bus_intr

This command generates a list of adapters using different Interrupt Levels that
looks similar to the following:

N

fda

bus_intr_lvl

6 (A )

N

sa

bus_intr_lvl

4 (A )

N

sa1

bus_intr_lvl

3 (A )

N

sioka

bus_intr_lvl

1 (A )

N

sioma

bus_intr_lvl

12 (A )
