Re: 2843, 27844 and 2838

The short version is Powerdown and replace the Twinax card with the 2838
IPL and sign on and goto SST, setup the IP address and set the comm resource
to
the new 2838. STORE and the Activate port,
Have the PC setup for LAN Console using QCONSOLE device and you should be
able to connect

Again the short version

I've been living dangerously without a console, but I really have to
address this. Simple jiggling hasn't worked, but I really need to get
the box out of its little area and get some better access to the cables
and connections. Before I do that, though, I want to prepare for any
major surgery I might do.

One thing I may do is insert attach a second Ethernet card and go to the
LAN Console. Currently my configuration indicates as near as I can tell
that I have a 2842 adapter and a 2838 PCI IOP. This gives me a single
Ethernet line. I have in my posession an additional 2838 as well as a
2843 adapter. My quandary is that I have no idea what is compatible
with what. Can you have both a 2842 and a 2843? If so, how does each
2838 know who it belongs to?

I'm so confused.

And while I'm obviously leery of doing any messing about at all with the
Ethernet while the console is on the fritz, at the same time if I get
the console working I'd like to install the new Ethernet while I have
the machine up on blocks, so to speak.

So, is there a place that will tell a complete hardware idiot which
cards are compatible with one another, and with the box?

The box is a little bitty (2GB/80GB) 9406-270 without a lot of cards.
It's got a 284D and a 2842 and I don't use the 284D for much of
anything; QTILINE and QESLINE are always varied off. It's running V5R4
with cumes from February of 2008.
