Notes Regarding SBus Slots

If the SCI adapter cards are not already installed in the nodes, install them in available SBus slots. Refer to the hardware installation manual that was supplied with your server for installation instructions.

It possible, apply the following guidelines when choosing which SBus slots to use:

• Install the cards in the lowest-numbered available SBus slots.

• If you are installing two adapter cards per node, locate them in adjacent SBus slots.

Adhering to these guidelines will make it easier for you to edit the SCI configuration file, sci_config.hpc, later in the installation process. Chapter 3, Configuring the SCI Network Interface explains how to edit this file.
