Chapter 1. Introduction to the IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI
Management Adapter
This chapter describes the adapter, the contents of the adapter kits, and the other
materials you will need to install the adapter.
It is important that you are familiar with the computer in which the adapter will be
installed and the computer’s operating system and network software.
The adapter is 32-bit, bus-master, token-ring for the PCI bus architecture. The
unique, high-quality filter design supports connection to a token-ring network that is
wired with shielded twisted-pair (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling. The
adapter can be used in PCI-compatible slots that operate at speeds up to 33 MHz.
Features of this adapter include:
v Adapter management capability that is provided by SNMP.
v Desktop Management Interface (DMI) provided by the LAN Adapter Management
Agent. For an end-to-end management solution, you can use the agent in
conjunction with the Nways
Manager for AIX®Version 1.2 or later.
v Automatic ring-speed detection.
v Support for a wide variety of network operating systems and network
applications.
v Support for full-duplex (FDX), token-ring LAN operation.
v Support for microcode update.
v Automatic configuration of I/O, memory, ROM space, and interrupt level by PCI
BIOS on power-up.
v Designed for use with either a half-size or full-size, 5-V or 3.3-V signaling, 32-bit
or 64-bit PCI-bus slot.

Package contents
The IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Management Adapter comes with the following
features:
v Automatic Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)/PCI power management
feature
v Wake on LAN feature
These features are described in the following sections.
Automatic Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
If your computer supports ACPI, then it has built-in energy-saving capabilities.
When ACPI is enabled (usually through the computer BIOS settings), the operating
system is allowed to control the power management features of your computer. Not
all operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode. Refer to your operating system
documentation to determine if ACPI is supported. Refer to your computer system
documentation to determine if ACPI BIOS is offered and the method by which it can
be enabled. The adapter implements the PCI Bus Power Management Interface
Specification Version 1.0 that works together with ACPI. Under control of the
operating system, the adapter (and the entire system) can be placed in various
power-saving modes and be dynamically configured to look for network
protocol-specific events. Upon detection of these events, the adapter can signal a
wake-up condition which will bring the system to a fully-powered (operational) state.
Some systems might need to be configured through BIOS settings
(configuration/setup utilities) to allow PCI devices to wake a system. Refer to your
computer system documentation for automatic power-on feature settings (or PCI
wake-up features).
Wake on LAN
Adapters that support this feature can turn on a system that is powered off. The
adapter uses an auxiliary 3-volt power pin that is available on the PCI bus
beginning with PCI version 2.2. No additional auxiliary power cables are required.
The 3-volt PCI auxiliary power pin supplies power to the adapter. A control register
on the adapter determines whether the adapter is powered on by the 3-volt auxiliary
power source. This register is controlled by the system BIOS. If the BIOS enables
the control register bit, then the adapter always has a source of power, even when
2IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Management Adapter
the system is powered off (system power cord is connected to a live power outlet).
When the system is powered off, the adapter automatically inserts into the network
and looks for a special frame. This frame is commonly referred to as a magicpacket. Upon detection of the magic packet, the adapter signals the system to turn
on the power supply, thus turning on the computer system. The magic packet is a
frame sent by another computer system usually running an application that provides
remote system management.
Attention:Some PCs with multiple PCI slots that support Wake on LAN and
3.3-volt auxiliary power may not have an adequate 3.3-volt power supply to power
more than just a few of the slots with auxiliary 3.3 volts. Check with your PC
supplier to determine the number of PCI slots that can be concurrently populated,
and still meet the current limit of 375 mA per slot (for auxiliary 3.3 volts). This limit
is specified in the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification Revision 1.1.

Novell NetWare 5.0 Server
If Novell NetWare is not installed on your machine, use the following instructions. If
it is installed, follow the instructions in “Server driver installation in existing NetWare
5.0 Server” on page 17.
Server driver installation during NetWare 5.0 Server installation
Installation of the network board and its device driver occurs during the combined
storage device and network board installation step. Use the following instructions to
install the network board and its driver during a new NetWare 5.0 Server
installation.
1. Create a device driver installation diskette containing the extracted files from the
NETWAREP.EXE package file on the adapter CD-ROM.
2. Select a storage device and a network board:
v Select and configure the storage device.
Storage devices such as hard disks, CD-ROMs, and tape devices require a
software driver to communicate with the storage adapter. The software driver
for the storage device is called a custom device module (CDM). Each type of
storage device requires a CDM.
The installation program auto-detects many types of storage devices such as
IDE drives, SCSI drives, CD-ROM drives, and tape drives. If your storage
device is not detected, choose the appropriate driver from the list of available
drivers provided with NetWare 5 or add a new driver from a diskette. CDMs
can be obtained from the storage device manufacturer.
v Select and configure the network board.
The software driver for a network board is called a LAN driver. The
installation program auto-detects many types of network boards. If your
network board is not detected, choose the driver for the network board from
the list provided with NetWare 5 or use a new or updated driver from the
diskette that you created in step 1.
The network board must be installed and configured correctly. For servers, it
is recommended that DATARATE be set to M16 or M4, and clients be set to
Auto. You might be able to influence certain network board properties by
configuring the system and the network board or both.
v Load a NetWare Loadable Module TM program, if required.
Certain server and network configurations might require you to load a
NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) before you can complete the server
installation. An example is loading ROUTE.NLM for a token-ring environment
that requires it.
