Copying the ADF File
After you have installed an F30XX model adapter into your Micro
Channel computer, you must copy the Cabletron Adapter
Description File (ADF) onto a backup copy of the Micro Channel
computer’s Reference Diskette. The ADF file is supplied with your
Cabletron software.
The ADF file provides Programmable Option Select Parameters for
the System Configuration Utility used in Micro Channel machines.
If necessary, you can change the adapter parameters during this
procedure.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use a backup copy of the Reference Diskette
when you perform the following procedure.
To configure the ADF:
•
Copy the ADF file @0070.ADF from the Cabletron software
diskette to the IBM Reference Diskette copy.
•
Follow the instructions in your computer user’s manual to
access the system Setup utility. In your system Setup Menu,
find the entry that lets you update the system configuration
files.
•
When asked, insert the IBM Reference Diskette copy.
•
Answer YES to: Automatically configure the system? After
configuration is complete, exit the configuration utility and
reboot the computer.
•
After power up, the computer should recognize the F30XX
adapter; the heartbeat pulse of one flash per second should be
visible (for a period of thirty seconds) on the Processor LED
(see Section 2.5, LANVIEW LEDs).
