If the node contains two LAN cards, there can be no
RLP 6 or 7. This should not be a problem, however,
since when there are two LAN cards, the node sup-
ports a maximum of six RLPS, and these can be num-
bered 0–5.
If an RLP is not installed, its allotted shared memory addresses will
be used by the RLP with the next higher RLP number, and each suc-
cessive RLP will use the shared memory addresses left available by
the one before it.
The I/O base address always matches the RLP number as shown in
the table; it does not change if an RLP is not installed. (RLPs use four
I/O addresses; e.g.,
4308–430b
).
