F7000 Series DNI Jumper and Switch Settings
HELP: Board Views, Hardware Tables.
There are no jumper or switch settings for the F7000 series of FDDI DNI cards.
Implementing the Dual Attach Station
The Dual Attach Station configuration is implemented by installing a "daughter board" (not shown in the Board View). The daughter board plugs into a slot adjacent to the F7000 FDDI adapter and connects to the FDDI adapter by a pair of ribbon cables. The daughter board provides the additional FDDI connectors and ancillary circuitry for Dual Attach Station operation.
The daughter board obtains its power from the bus slot it is plugged into. The following instructions demonstrate installing the daughter board and connecting the daughter board to the FDDI adapter. Please refer to the INSTALLATION GUIDE (part number 9030826-01), which supports both the F3000 and F7000 DNI cards.
Turn off the power to the computer and peripherals, and disconnect all power cords and cables.
Remove the computer cover and select a slot for the daughter board, adjacent to the slot occupied by the FDDI adapters. We recommend the slot immediately to the left of the FDDI adapter as viewed from the rear (bracket) of the adapter.
If you have not done so, remove the daughter board from its protective pouch, and visually inspect it.
Refer to the installation procedures for the FDDI adapters in Chapter 2, Section 2.4.3, Installing the F70XX Model Adapters. Install the daughter board as you would the respective model adapter, in a slot adjacent to the adapter.
Connect the daughter board to the FDDI adapter. Plug the interconnecting ribbon cables into the FDDI adapters and daughter board connectors. Observe the polarized keying of the cable and connectors.
Secure the daughter board bracket to the computer frame. Replace the computer covers, reconnect all cables and power up the computer.
Connect the FDDI cables to the adapter and daughter board according to the FDDI ring configuration. Consult the ANSI X3T9.5 specification for a description of Dual Attach Station FDDI ring topology.
After connecting the adapter and daughter board to the FDDI ring, observe the LANVIEW LEDs to determine the status of the adapter and FDDI ring.
