Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition)

SMC Elite32 (8033)

Solaris Device Driver:

smce

Device Type:

Network (Ethernet) 

Adapter:

SMC Elite32 (8033) 

Bus Type:

EISA 

Connectors:

One board type has an AUI connector and two BNC connectors. 

Another board type has an AUI connector and two RJ-45 connectors. 

Channel 0 can use any of the connectors. 

Channel 1 can use only a BNC or an RJ-45 connector, not an AUI connector.

Configuration Procedure

  1. Use the EISA configuration utility (ECU) to select the connector for channel 0.

    Note -

    If a transceiver is connected to the AUI connector, the board uses the AUI connection even if another connector type is selected in the ECU.

  2. Set the IRQ level if needed.

    In the Elite 32 ECU, the system usually determines the IRQ value automatically by using the first available IRQ level the ECU finds. If there are also ISA adapters not identified in the ECU, the automatically chosen IRQ may conflict with an ISA adapter IRQ. System performance or network adapter communication may be affected. You can override the automatic assignment of the IRQ by manually selecting an unused IRQ level for the Elite32 adapter.
