PCI Card Placement Rules
304 AS/400e System Handbook
The following features still need to be added to the system:
• One #2843 PCI IOP
• One #4746 PCI Twinax Workstation IOA (provides attachment for Twinax device
addresses)
• One #4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOAs (provides attachment to 100 Mbps
Ethernet segment)
The remaining IOA features will be controlled by the #2843 IOP on in the #5074. The
verification that the Base IOP has the capability to support the chosen cards is shown here:
1. Identify the IOP being considered.
The #2843 Base IOP will be used.
2. Determine the capacity values for the selected IOP using the “IOP Capacity Table” on
page 285. Enter the values on line 6 of the Configuration Validation Form.
The #2843 IOP has a memory capacity value of 211 and a performance capacity value of
100. Those values are entered on line 6.
3. Identify the IOAs to be controlled by the selected IOP.
One #4746 and one #4838 will be controlled by the #2843 (since one #4838 does not
require optimum performance, it can also be controlled by this #2843).
