xiv 3270 Emulation PCI Adapter User’s Guide
Section 1. Introduction
The 3270 PCI Card is a hardware component that, with the
appropriate software, provides 3278/79 emulation capabilities for
personal computers with PCI busses.
The 3270 PCI Card can be installed in personal computers with a
PCI bus.

In this book, unless otherwise stated, Intel 8088 bus refers to the 8088, 8086, and
80286 buses.

Signal Cable Considerations
When a 3270 Card is attached to a host system, consider the
following practices for installing signal cable:
Installation
– Cable runs (indoor and outdoor)
– Types of signal cables and specifications (coaxial and
twisted-pair)
– Signal cable and power line separation
– Cable labeling and testing
Cable accessories.
Outdoor runs require additional installation guidelines, including
lightning protection. For more information, refer to the signal cable
publications listed in “Other Related Publications” on page xii.
Cable Requirements and Card Options
Table 1 shows the card requirements for various signal cable types
| and IBM products. To order these cables, contact your IBM
| Authorized Dealer or IBM Marketing Representative.
