SW3 A31 A30 A29 A28 A27 A26 A25 A24


SNC 1.0 and SNC 1.2 Switch Settings


Notes

  1. SNC 1.2 requires Sun 4400 CPU 501-1381-09 or 501-1899-01.

  2. SNC 1.2 requires IPI Firmware 525-1023-05, 525-1024-10, and 525-1025-10. This firmware is installed on ISP-80 IPI Controller 501-1539-10 and 501-1855-04.

  3. Under Interphase Release 1.4, the VME address space of the fifth NC400 and the Prestoserve board is at 0x800000. If both Prestoserve (pr0) and a fifth NC400 (ne4) are installed, change the address of pr0 to 0xc00000 on the Prestoserve board and in the kernel.

    When the Prestoserve is set to 0xc00000, the alternate 24-bit settings for the NC400 at 0xc00000 - 0xc7ffff and 0xc80000 - 0xcfffff cannot be used.

    When the Prestoserve is set to 0xc00000, the address space 0xc00000 - 0xcfffff, reserved for large OEM/user devices, is used.

  4. SunOS for the Sun 4400 reserves 1 Megabyte of DVMA space for VME32 peripheral devices. If the sum of DVMA space requested by VME32 devices is greater than 1 Megabyte, some peripherals will not run correctly.
    1 Network CoProcessor uses 192 Kilobytes of DVMA space
    2 Network CoProcessors use 320 Kilobytes of DVMA space
    3 Network CoProcessors use 320 Kilobytes of DVMA space
    4 Network CoProcessors use 320 Kilobytes of DVMA space
    5 Network CoProcessors use 400 Kilobytes of DVMA space
    6 Network CoProcessors use 480 Kilobytes of DVMA space

  5. SunOS for the SS600MP reserves 6 Megabytes of DVMA space for VME32 peripheral devices. If the sum of DVMA space requested by VME32 devices is greater than 6 Megabytes, some peripherals will not run correctly. Each Network CoProcessor uses 416 Kilobytes of DVMA space.

Release Notes

  1. Interphase Release 1.4 supports the Sun 4400 on SunOS 4.1.1.
  2. SNC 1.0 supports the SS600MP on SunOS 4.1.2.
