A3. ADMINISTRATIVE WORKSTATION (AW) SERIAL ASYNCHRONOUS INTERFACE
(SunSAI/P) BOARD GROWTH
A3.1 Introduction
The purpose of this appendix is to outline the steps necessary to install and configure
the second Serial Asynchronous Interface (SunSAI/P) board into a DRM
Administrative Workstation (AW). The second SunSAI/P board would be used for those
offices the require more than 6 asynchronous TTY ports.
A3.2 Procedure Overview
The first part of this procedure deals with the preconditions necessary prior to
execution. The second part of this procedure deals with the AW preparation necessary
for the SunSAI/P growth. The third part of this procedure deals with installation of
the new SunSAI/P hardware. The fourth part of this procedure deals with diagnosis of
the new SunSAI/P hardware.
The following outlines the general steps executed in this procedure.
1. Meet the required preconditions.
2. Prepare the Administrative Workstation (AW).
— Backup the Administrative Workstation (AW).
— Restore all Moving Head Disks (MHDs).
— Write the Automatic Message Accounting (AMA) data from memory to disk.
— Isolate the switching module.
— Transfer the AMA data from the disk to the output medium.
3. Install serial asynchronous interface board hardware.
— Halt the AW.
— Remove power to all AW hardware units.
— Detach all cables and label them if necessary.
— Add secondary PCI card to PCI Slot 1.
— Restore power to all hardware units.
4. Diagnose the new serial asynchronous interface board hardware.
— Switch to the UNIX
1
console of the AW.
— Login as root.
— Diagnose the new SunSAI/P.
— Switch over to the MCC page of the AW.
A3.2.1 Preconditions
The following preconditions must be met before executing this procedure.
1. Approximate Execution Time: 1.5 – 2 Hours
