Statement of Limited Warranty
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.
Machine: IBM ARTIC X.25 Interface Co-Processor PCI Adapter Warranty Period*: This Feature assumes the Warranty period of the IBM
host in which it is installed. For all other conditions, the Warranty period is three years.
*Elements and accessories are warranted for three months. Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine’s production status, IBM’s warranty terms apply.
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if authorized by IBM, will provide warranty service under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
For IBM or your reseller to provide warranty service for a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your reseller may require that the Machine on which it is installed be
1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many of these transactions involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. You represent that all removed parts are genuine and unaltered. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the replaced part.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or your reseller will repair it or replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, without charge. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order. If IBM or your reseller is unable to repair or replace the Machine, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
iii
If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that user for the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your proof of purchase and this Statement to that user. However, for Machines that have a life-time warranty, this warranty is not transferable.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller or call IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378). In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-465-6666. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller will provide certain types of repair and exchange service, either at your location or at IBM's or your reseller’s service center, to restore a Machine to good working order.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. You also agree to ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange.
You agree to:
1. Obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and
2. Where applicable, before service is provided —
a. Follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provide, b. Secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, and c. Inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine. The warranties may be voided by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical
or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible.

diskette; they examine the
System Unit Diagnostics
For details on performing the system unit diagnostics, see “Problem Determination Procedures” in the operating instructions supplied with your computer system.
The system unit diagnostics will not detect PCI co-processor adapter errors directly, but will aid in isolating the problem.
Run the Realtime Interface Co-Processor diagnostics to determine whether or not you have a PCI co-processor adapter error.
Note: If you are unsure of a problem area, perform the system unit
diagnostics first, before proceeding with the PCI co-processor adapter diagnostics.
If you encounter problems configuring your PCI co-processor adapter or installing the IBM X.25 Interface Co-Processor PCI device driver for your operating system, you may need to update the BIOS on your computer. Contact your system unit manufacturer for any possible BIOS updates.
The IBM X.25 Interface Co-Processor PCI adapter requests an 8KB memory window under 1MB. If this is not available, the software for the card may not operate correctly.
If you are unable to resolve your problem, contact the ARTIC Technical Support Desk as follows:
In the USA, call 1-800-237-5511, and at the Voice Response
Unit, enter 0 (ignore all other options).
In Canada, call 1-800-465-2222.For all other locations, call your country specialists.

PCI Co-Processor Adapter Diagnostics Test
Notes:
1. You can test the PCI co-processor adapter with or without the 37-pin wrap plug (shown in “Service Parts” on page 4-22). The wrap plug lets you test the electrical interfaces.
2. If at any time during diagnostics testing, you get a screen with non-decipherable data, see the steps under “Blank Screen, Blinking Cursor, or Non-Decipherable Data” on page 4-5. Otherwise, follow the step-by-step procedures.
3. If you receive an error message during any of the tests, record the error message and have the system unit serviced, unless otherwise stated.
During diagnostics testing, instructions appear on the screen. Follow the instructions as they appear.

Appendix A. Special Configuration Information
Note:
This appendix contains special configuration information for DOS and OS/2. If you are using another operating system, see “Step
2. Download the Diagnostics and Operating System Support Programs” on page 2-5.
This appendix contains information about the following.
Creating an ICAPARM.PRM file
– Adding an entry to the ICAPARM.PRM file for the PCI
co-processor adapter
– Base I/O address considerations
Changing your CONFIG.SYS fileCtrl+Alt+Del reset considerationsSelecting an interrupt level for the PCI co-processor adapter
Shared-memory considerations.
Creating an ICAPARM.PRM File
After your software is installed, you can create a special parameter file (ICAPARM.PRM) to change the defaults for PCI co-processor adapter initialization. This is the same file used for the Realtime Interface Co-Processor Multiport and Multiport, Model 2 adapters. (For a detailed description of this file, refer to the
Interface Co-Processor OS/2 Support: User’s Guide Realtime Interface Co-Processor DOS Support: User’s Guide
ICAPARM.PRM is a small file you create with a text editor and contains a single line of parameters for each Realtime Interface Co-Processor installed, including each PCI co-processor adapter. The following two examples—for one adapter installed and for multiple adapters installed—will work satisfactorily in most cases. All values are specified in hexadecimal (h).
Copyright IBM Corp. 1996 A-1
IBM Realtime
or the
IBM
.)
Adding an ICAPARM.PRM File Entry for the PCI Co-Processor Adapter
The only time you need to add an entry to the ICAPARM.PRM file for the PCI co-processor adapter is if you want to change the following standard hex default values. All other fields are ignored for the PCI co-processor adapter.
MAXTASK (Maximum Task Number) = 10hMAXPRI (Maximum Task Priority) = 10hMAXQUEUE (Maximum Task Queue Number) = 50hMAXTIME (Maximum Task Timer Number) = 32h.
Base I/O Address Considerations
The base I/O address for PCI adapters can present a problem for ICAPARM.PRM entries: the values are entirely up to the PCI BIOS. Since the lowest valid ARTIC I/O address prior to PCI is 02A0, the values 0000–00FFh are used to identify PCI adapters. The lowest nibble is divided further into two 4-bit fields. The upper 4 bits define which PCI adapter (=0 for ARTIC PCI); the lower 4 bits define a particular adapter instance. Therefore, the values 0000, 0001,... 000n represent physical PCI adapters 0 through n, where corresponds to the index values for the adapter in the PCI BIOS Find Device call. Note, however, that the logical card numbering can be reversed by changing the order of physical ICAPARM.PRM entries. (“Example 2 — for Multiple Co-Processor Adapters” on page A-4 shows an example of this.)

will be treated as a comment.
2 Logical card number of the PCI co-processor adapter.
Range 00–FFh.
3 Shared Memory Address, Meg value.
00 for the IBM ARTIC X.25 Interface Co-Processor PCI adapter Range 00–0Fh for all other Intel 186 ARTIC adapters. (See Field 4).
4 Shared Memory Address, Page Value.

Used with Meg Value (Field 3) to define the shared memory window used by the adapter to communicate with the system unit. The Page Value is the memory offset in 8KB increments. A Meg Value of 00h and a Page Value of 60h gives a window address of C0000h.
5 Maximum Task Number on the adapter. Range 00–F8h;
set to 10h.
6 Maximum Task Priority. Range 01–FFh; set to 10h. 7 Maximum Task Queue Number. Range 00–FEh; set to

11 End-Record Delimiter. Value ';' or '$'. If this is the last
adapter in the ICAPARM file, set to '$'; otherwise, set to ';'.
Example 2 — for Multiple Co-Processor Adapters
The following example shows an ICAPARM.PRM file for 2 ISA and 2 PCI co-processor adapters in an ISA/PCI system:
# 1   1 1 1 32 F E1 ; # 6A  6F 2 2 2 2 C E1 ; #    1 1 5 32 F E1 ; # 2A  6E 1 1 5 32 C E1 $
Field Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 11
In this example, the second physical PCI adapter has been assigned logical card 0, and the first physical PCI adapter has been assigned logical card 2. The other two adapters have been interspersed in logical card order.
Note: For an explanation of the fields, see the field descriptions
under “Example 1 — for One Co-Processor Adapter” on page A-3.

Changing Your CONFIG.SYS File
If OS/2 and Communications Manager/2 (CM/2) are being used, one line of the CONFIG.SYS file must be modified (using a text editor) to specify the location of the ICAPARM.PRM file. Change CONFIG.SYS as follows, but substitute your specific drive paths:
Change: DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\ICARICIO.SYS
To: DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\ICARICIO.SYS C:\CMLIB\ICAPARM.PRM
Note: Make this change after CM/2 is configured. Later, if CM/2 is
configured again, do not have it replace the CONFIG.SYS file. However, if you must let CM/2 change CONFIG.SYS to add new devices, just edit CONFIG.SYS again to replace the ICAPARM.PRM parameter.
Ctrl+Alt+Del Reset Considerations
The PCI co-processor adapter does not detect a Ctrl+Alt+Del reset operation.
Selecting an Interrupt Level for the PCI Co-Processor Adapter
A Realtime Interface Co-Processor (ARTIC) adapter, which includes the PCI co-processor adapter, can be configured to operate on several hardware interrupt levels. An ARTIC adapter and its software can support shared interrupts. Note that even though some other hardware adapters support interrupt sharing, their supporting software does not. The interrupt level for the PCI co-processor adapter is assigned by PCI BIOS.
