PCI Card Placement Rules
296 AS/400e System Handbook
default value for the IOA. When determining the values to use, be sure to account for both
lines if you have selected the #4745 and #9771.
There are no soft rules that apply other than placing the #4838 on a separate IOP for
optimum performance. This rule has been met.
6. Add the IOA values in each column. Place the totals on line 5.
7. Compare the totals in line 5 with the IOP Capacity in line 6.
All the numbers in line 5 are less than or equal to the corresponding values in line 6, and
all hard rules have been followed. Therefore, the configuration is valid.
The cards chosen for this example result in a card enclosure populated as shown in the
following figure. Note that card slot C02 is empty. An IOA could be placed in that slot later.
The table above shows ample memory and performance capability on the IOP. However,
doing so would violate the soft rule concerning optimum performance on a #4838
100/10Mbps Ethernet IOA.
