Hardware/Firmware Notes
On any XP1000 system the KZPEA-DB module can only be installed in a 64-bit PCI slot.
A video adapter card is recommended to run the on-board configuration utility. On systems such as the HP
DS10L, this is not possible since there is only 1 available PCI slot, which precludes the use of a KZPEA
board and a video board. On these systems and any others where the choice may be limited to using the
serial mode of console operation the following steps are suggested:
At the SRM console prompt, ensure that the console mode of operation is set to “serial.” Go into the
KZPEA configuration utility by typing “run bios pkx0”, where x is the assigned letter of the board’s
channel A. Once the utility is started and the user has typed control A in response to the board’s
inquiry as to whether any of the factory settings need to be changed – at this point the terminal’s setup
mode must be invoked to enable the cursor as the KZPEA configuration utility disables the cursor when
it starts running. When the cursor is enabled, exit out of the terminal’s setup mode to return to the
KZPEA utility and proceed from there.
If your terminal does not present either a flashing cursor or a highlight to indicate where the cursor is,
you will not be able to use the serial emulation mode to configure the KZPEA module. Therefore, you
must have a video board installed in your system or you must configure the KZPEA in another system
and then install it in your system.
Note:
KZPEA modules have a restriction with certain graphics modules:
Restricted Graphics
10
: Non-Restricted
Graphics:
3X-DEPVZ-AA
SN-PBXGB-AA
3X-DEPVD-AA
SN-PBXGD-AD
11
SN-PBXGD-AE
12
SN-PBXGK-BB
13
SN-PBXGF-AB

3X-PBXGG-AA
Refer to the
KZPEA User Guide
regarding the board’s SCSI configuration options and their settings.
10
PCI buses containing any restricted graphics modules are limited to one KZPEA adapter on that PCI bus.
11
On systems with an SN-PBXGD-AD (PowerStorm 300) Video Adapter installed, the printed circuit board (which has part
number 54-25563-01) must be at a minimum revision of C06 in order for the KZPEA to be installed on the same PCI bus.
12
On systems with an SN-PBXGD-AE (PowerStorm 350) Video Adapter installed, the printed circuit board (which is part
number 54-25561-01) must be at a minimum revision of B05 in order for the KZPEA to be installed on the same PCI bus.
There is an alternate printed circuit board used for this video adapter (which is part number 54-25561-02) and it must be at
a minimum revision of A03 in order for the KZPEA to be installed on the same PCI bus.
13
These two graphics adapters are in the restricted column if you are using a version of the SRM console that is earlier than
6.0.
