Introduction
This appendix provides reference information for previously released 8900
frames. Use this archive to access a summary of cabling and configuration
information for earlier versions of the 8900 frames.
Identifying Frame Types
There are a number of ways to determine what type of frame you have.
Table 11 lists all available frame types and how they can be identified. The
assembly number of the frame is printed on a label located inside the frame
on the front of the chassis.
Network Configuration Storage
One of the important differences between current and earlier version 8900
frames is the location of network configuration storage. 8900NET software
version 3.0.0 and later enabled storage of the IP addresses (network config-
uration) on the frame backplane on frames that are equipped with storage
capability. In earlier versions of software and frame types with no storage
capacity, the IP addresses are stored on the 8900NET module and stay with
the module when it is moved to another frame.
To determine what frame model you have and where IP addresses are
stored, you may also access the Frame Status page with the web browser.
