| 188.1 | Slot 7 and 8: 12V? | VNABRW::VNADS4::BOECK_P | | Wed Mar 17 1993 03:34 | 17 |
| I think many of us having this problem.
We read the manuals and that could be an explanation:
Every modul that must be in slot 8 or 7 requires 12 V (AUI, serial
ports..).
Is that right?
Are there any manuals about network-design using DEChubs?
Today we have to work like "Hackers" to steel some information about DEChub
from different locations.

| Your request for this in the manuals is right on. Slot 7 & 8 provide
12 volt which is needed for AUI, brouter and a few others. Configuring
Your LAN EC_N0011-29 has this in a brochure.

| 188.3 | not a problem in the 900 | EMDS::SEAVER | Bill Seaver, HUBwatch Mktg | Mon Apr 12 1993 21:03 | 1 |
| This problem does not exist in the DEChub 900.

| 188.4 | DECrepeater90FA? | HGOVC::LILLIANTANG | | Tue May 18 1993 04:29 | 2 |
| What about the DECrepeater 90FA? I can't find fro manual how much V
it'll need, but it has an AUI connector?
|
| 188.5 | Half of the 90FA is slot independent | QUIVER::GAUDET | | Tue May 25 1993 12:41 | 5 |
| The DECrepeater 90FA will repeat through the fiber connection only if
it is plugged into slots 1-6 of a DEChub 90. The AUI port will work if
the 90FA is plugged into slots 7 or 8.

| 188.6 | Let me rephrase that... | QUIVER::GAUDET | | Tue May 25 1993 12:44 | 10 |
| After reading my reply in .-1, one could come to the conclusion that
the fiber ports will not work if the 90FA is plugged into slots 7 or 8.
This is *NOT* true.
Slots 1-6: fiber only
Slots 7-8: both fiber and AUI
Sorry if I confused anyone.

| 188.7 | Ref .2; BRUT slot independent !?! | HGOV08::GUPTA | | Thu Aug 12 1993 00:04 | 20 |
| Ref .2:
Hi Bill,
As per note 321.1 and DECbrouter 90T Installation and Operating Manual
(Fig 2.8 Page 2.11), BRUT is slot independent. I have an impression
that I can fill the whole DEChub with BRUTs. Please correct me if I am
wrong.
Has the situation changes since the days that note (188.2) was written
? What is the current position ? In fact based on the information I
had, I have proposed three BRUTs in one DEChub (config as shown in
321.0).
I think, we need one manual describing these slot limitation on all the
DEChub modules that exist to-day and planned for future.
Regards,
Surender

Bruts (DECbrouter 90s) can go in any slot - you can put 8 in
one hub, or 7 plus a DECbridge 90, if you want to read the slot
configuration remotely.

Such a brochure exists, but only in hardcopy. It's called
"DEChub family of Networking Products Quick Reference"
The order number is EB-N0074-29. I think it came out in February
of this year. It doesn't talk about any products that were still
unannounced when it was published. But to my knowledge, the only
modules that require 12V (slots 7 and 8) are those with an AUI
port, (ie. the DECbridge 90 and 90FL, the DECrepeater 90FA) and
the DECagent 90, which needs the 12V for its Flash memory.
