Migrating Host Processor Release 1 or 2 to Full-Feature Workstation
The AT&T 6386/25 used as the 6820 Release 1 and Release 2 host processor can be converted to a
full-feature workstation in Release 4.2 NMS. The conversion procedures for both host processors
are nearly identical.
To convert the host processor into a full-feature workstation, perform the following tasks:
•
Remove unnecessary circuit cards from the processor
•
Install a 3COM 3C503 EtherLink II card or StarLAN 10 Network Access Unit circuit card
•
Low-level format the hard disk
•
Load MS-DOS, X-One, and the full-feature workstation software
•
Install the Paradise Windows Accelerator video card
Below is a step-by-step procedure for the host processor conversion. This procedure assumes the
reuse of the StarLAN NAU card. See Chapter 2, Preparing the Processors, for details regarding
installation of a 3COM 3C503 EtherLink II card.
1. Open the 6386/25 computer. The procedure is described in detail in Chapter 2 of the
COMSPHERE 6820 NMS Installation and Maintenance Guide.
2. Identify the circuit cards that must be removed from the 6386/25. Table 2-10 shows all
cards that must be removed.
3. Remove each of the cards by removing the chassis screw and gently lifting up the two ends
of the card.
