These applications demonstrate the capabilities of the device and serve as software examples for programming the device. Refer to the documentation that comes with the option for additional information. Configuring the Advanced Systems Management Adapter The Advanced Systems Management Adapter comes completely installed and configured. Use these instructions only if you need to change the default parameters to meet your specific processing requirements. This process can be divided into two parts: Configuring system resources Configuring the adapter Configuration Considerations: The adapter uses only adapter COM B for external communication, therefore a modem or null-modem cable must be connected to adapter COM B. If you want to share adapter COM B with the system, adapter COM B must be assigned one of the following I/O addresses: 3F8 (COM 1) 2F8 (COM 2) 3E8 (COM 3) 2E8 (COM 4) If you want adapter COM B dedicated to the adapter only, you must disable adapter COM B through the adapter configuration program to prevent the system from accessing it. The adapter comes configured with adapter COM B disabled. The adapter COM A is not used by the adapter. If you want the system to use adapter COM A, the adapter must be configured through the adapter configuration program. Each port I/O address covers eight contiguous address bytes as shown in Table 1 on page 30. Make sure there are no conflicts between the adapter port I/O addresses and interrupts that you configure, and previously assigned system I/O addresses and interrupts. The adapter comes configured with I/O address 200-205 and interrupt 5. IBM Netfinity 7000 - Type 8651 29
