81.0. "WAN adapter in a 3.2c system" by KERNEL::FREKES (Like a thief in the night) Wed Apr 09 1997 13:40

    Folks
    
    I am not sure if this is the correct notes conference. If not please
    point me in the correct direction.
    
    I have a customer who is trying install an Emulex wide area network
    adapter in his Alphaserver1000 4/266. The card is a PBXDT-AA.
    
    CUstomer is running V3.2c. Is this card supported?, Anything I should
    be aware of.
    
    Regards

    Presumably you meant PBXDP-AA; a 2 -port synch comms option.
    If so, then you need at least version 2.0-A of WAN Support for Digital
    UNIX.
    
    Depending on the other I/O adapters in the system, you may need
    to upgrade to the console firmware (V3.8?) on the DEC 96 console
    firmware CD (or later). Failure to do this upgrade MAY result in
    failure of the console to complete PCI configuration of the I/O
    adapters.
    
    You can explore this further in OZROCK::X25_OSF.
