IBM PC 8590 / PC Server 8595 - Installation of ARTIC Adapters in 8590 and 8595

Applicable to: AP-S, Canada, LA, United States

Source: RETAIN tip H083231

Abstract: Installation of ARTIC Adapters in 8590 and 8595.

The ARTIC Multiport/2 and Portmaster Adapter/A cards should not be installed next to the processor card in the 8590 and 8595 if they have an electrical interface board (EIB) attached. The clearance between the ARTIC EIB and the processor card is such that they may touch, causing damage to the system. The X.25 Interface Co-Processor/2 may be installed next to the processor, as may the Multiport/2 and Portmaster Adapter/A, if they do not have interface boards attached. It is not common for the Multiport/2 and Portmaster Adapter/A to be used without an EIB, but it is conceivable that a customer may do so.
