Adding a Fault Tolerant Link
When you add a fault tolerant link to your RIO system it is displayed on the system map in a
diffident colour to normal links (usually grey). Fault tolerant links are detected and displayed
automatically in the RIO Configuration window in the same way as standard links.
For more information about fault tolerant links, see Fault tolerant link on page 29 and
Installing a fault tolerant link on page 189 .
Adding an RTA to your system configuration
When you add additional RTAs to your system, they are added to the system map displayed
in the RIO Configuration window automatically. New RTAs will display their default names
and electronic serial numbers. To change these, see
Identifying an RTA on page 104 and
Adopting Port Names on page 107 .
Note
You can install up to 128 ports per host card. If you install one too many, RIO will
detect it but won’t be able to assign it an ID. On the system map, the RTA will
appear but without a link (despite you having physically connected it).
