Safety Information

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.

Handling-Static Sensitive Devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid

damage, keep this device in its anti-static protective bag until you are ready to install it. To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed below:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device. v While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal part

of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit

without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces

indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

viii Installation and Using Guide

Chapter 1. Overview

The TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATM Adapter is a 64–bit, universal PCI adapter that provides direct access to ATM networks through a dedicated 622 Mbps full-duplex connection. It is a PCI short form factor adapter and connects to the 622 ATM network through an LED-driven, dual-SC type, multimode fiber optics cable. The 622 PCI MMF Adapter uses 16 MB of SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory) for control and 16 MB of SDRAM for packet memory.

The TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATM Adapter provides the following features:

v 33 Mhz and 66 Mhz operation v Full-duplex operation v SVC (switched virtual circuit) and PVC (permanent virtual circuit) support v 16 MB of control memory and 16 MB of packet memory v Fiber SC connector for multimode fiber cabling

Note: Instructions assume you are connecting the TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATM

Adapter on AIX to an ATM switch or concentrator. If you have any problems installing or configuring your adapter, refer to “Appendix C. Troubleshooting” on page 31 for problem-solving information.

Software Requirements

The TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATM Adapter is supported on AIX Version 4.3.3 or later. The device driver for AIX 4.3.3 is shipped with the adapter and included in the ″AIX 4.3.3 Additional Device Software″ CD. If support is required on an earlier version of AIX release, ensure that this adapter is supported on that release prior to installation. Contact your support representative for assistance.

2 Installation and Using Guide

Chapter 2. Preparing for Installation

This chapter helps you to prepare to install the TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATM Adapter.
