Configuration Card Parameters
Information stored on the configuration card includes the ethernet address, and personality
parameters. The system model configuration is determined by a combination of system hard-
ware capabilities. Feature value and ethernet address are configured at the factory, and are
“read only”. The feature value is fixed in the configuration card, and does not change. Ethernet
address is stored only on the configuration card, and cannot be rewritten. The ethernet
address is not written to the NVRAM chip.
Personality parameters are a subset of network configuration parameters, which are populated
to the configuration card over time as the system is configured by the customer. The personal-
ity parameters are copied, or “shadowed”, from the main board's NVRAM chip to the configura-
tion card during the normal operation of the system. When the configuration card is inserted
into a new system, the personality parameters on the configuration card are written into the
NVRAM chip of the new system. When a system is powered on, if it contains the configuration
card of another system, the personality parameters are automatically copied to the NVRAM
chip. If the configuration card is removed, the system reboots as a non-networking, non-
duplexing model.
