---- How to configure FDDI controller 700 for DS5100/125 -------

People,
	Follow is hardware configure and some problems:

-- 1 --
	DS5100/125				ds5100/125

	ULTRIX 4.2				ULTRIX 4.2

	FDDI-controller-700			FDDI-controller-700
	(DEFZA-AA ver. B01)			(DEFZA-AA ver. B01)
	-------------------			-------------------

	When I added this line in /sys/conf/mips/TPSP10
	 "device fza0 at ibus2 vector fzaintr "
	then rebuild the kernel and move it to / .
	As I reboot this machine , console display follow
	error message and cause that machine hold .
	
	" fza0: port in the halt state -> Host request to halt "

-- 3 --

	I know that FDDI-controller-700 could install on DS5000/200
	and work very good , but I don't know whether FDDI-controller-700
	can install on DS5100/125 machine or not .


	THANKS

379.1	You need rev. C	STKHLM::TORGNY		`Tue Oct 29 1991 10:50`	10
	TO: DEFZA Early Ship Internal Sites Please be aware that the DEFZA-AA (DEC FDDIcontroller 700) units you have received as part of the early ship program are REV B and will not work with the new DECstation 100 and 125 systems. We have phased in a new chip that now supports all TURBOchannel-based DECstation and DECsystem 5000 devices, but are not planning to do an across-the-board upgrade. Hardware upgrades of the REV B boards will be done by Field Service on an as-needed basis.
