Getty errors occur if any ports on SDC are enabled. This problem occured on a GPx 50 system after the CMOS RAM set-up information was lost due to a battery problem. The Installation and Maintenance Manual (M8239B - Page 2-56) and Software Announcement have incorrect information in them.regarding the CMOS set-up. Entering the #hwconfig command did not display the SLXOS as running. FIX: GPx 50 systems with 16MB or more memory and one or two SDC controllers must set the "Reloc 1M" setting to "Yes" in the memory portion of the CMOS set-up. The CMOS set-up screen is accessed by pressing CTRL+ALT+ESC during the power on self tests. NOTE: At least one port on a TA8 breakout box must be enabled for the green LED to come on.

The GPx Series 40 systems gave an option to press "1" to change the CMOS parameters, the GPx Series 30 does not display an option because a VGA monitor is used as the console device. There is also no option to change the console port parameters because a monitor does not use serial protocol. The COM2 (serial port 2) configuration is on the second page of the BIOS Setup Utility. To change the setting, highlight Enable/Disable field of Serial Port 2 and press '+' or '-' to change to the desired setting.

These examples have been tested with SCO UNIX. Other UNIXes may have different "ps" formats or different files that are used during system shutdown. Workaround: A "kill" without the "-9" option can be used to "gently" kill the process without corrupting files, thus preventing error 7s. This can also be put into the "shutdown" procedure to prevent file corruption if files are OPEN when the system is shutdown. To kill a process enter: ps -ef |pg The process stack will display, find the process which needs to be terminated and find the process id number. Let's say the process id number(pid) is 235, enter: kill 235 To kill BASIC processes during the system shutdown do the following: vi /etc/rc0 After the line "kill -15 -1" add the following lines: sleep 10 kill `ps -e | grep basic | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'` To kill GHOST processes also enter: sleep 10 kill `ps -ef |grep ghost | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'` Save and exit the file.

A dead battery caused the CMOS and EISA configs to be lost. Our particular system had a mitac multi-function card, an internal modem card, one ISA SPECIAL X async 32 port card, and a SCSI disk controller. We set up the CMOS and EISA configs according to the book. Then our symptom was that the system couldn't see our SPECIAL X 32 port card. If we booted up we got getty errors and if we booted DEMON, it didn't see it either. FIX: All available procedures show that the CMOS setting for the parameter called "RELOCATE 1MB" is "NO" if you have one SPECIAL X board and "YES" if you have two SPECIAL X boards or any MAI 8/16 ways. Dan Arteritano had us change the boards address from F8 to 0D and try booting DEMON again. Now DEMON saw our SPECIAL X board. Dan said 0D was an address in the DOS range. This showed that everything was good hardware wise and that our problem was that our system wasn't seeing the address range of F8. Dan had us change CMOS to "YES" for "RELOCATE 1MB" and set our SPECIAL X board back to F8 and now everything worked. Only non-ASIC CPU'S have this parameter in CMOS. all procedures should be changed to reflect this change.

WARNING: You MUST HAVE a PC monitor and system keyboard to COMPLETELY configure these disk controllers. This controller CANNOT be configured on a GPx 40 system unless a monitor and keyboard are installed! To configure the controller do the following: During the system boot the Adaptec BIOS will display: << for SCSI Select (TM) Utility>>> During normal use, allow the BIOS to time out and the system will continue to boot. SWITCH SETTINGS NOTE: ON=Closed OFF=OPEN The dip switch is located at the edge of the controller, the typical setting is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Enable Termination ON I/O Address = 330 OFF OFF OFF Disable Floppy Port ON BIOS Address = C8000 ON OFF ON Position 1: Enable/disables on-board terminator Should be set to ON to enable on-board terminators. If there are EXTERNAL and internal scsi devices switch 1 should be set to OFF. Position 2,3 and 4: Determines which I/O address is used. 2 3 4 First Controller (330 H) OFF OFF OFF Second Controller (334 H) ON OFF OFF Position 5: Enables/disables floppy controller port. ON = Disable on board floppy controller Off = Enable on board floppy controller CONFIGURATION VIA ON-BOARD FIRMWARE To configure the controller via the on-board firmware, power on the system. After the memory test the following message will display: <<< Press for SCSI Select (TM) Utility >>> A. Press Ctrl and A together (Hold down then ) The first screen to appear will show the selected I/O port highlighted CPU-BASIC FOUR-1130,1150,1150/A,4150,5150-----------FIB023 Pg001 (typically this is 330). B. Press and the following displays: Configure/View Host Adapter Settings SCSI Disk Utilities Host Adapter Diagnostics NOTE: If the controller is NOT being configured on the system which it will be used on, skip the next step and proceed to section "D". C. Select "SCSI Disk Utilities" The controller BIOS will then search each device on the SCSI Bus and identify its SCSI ID. Note the IDs of all the SCSI disk drives. Enter to return to the previous screen. D. Select "Configuring/View Host Adapter Settings" To change the value of any field, use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Select the field and press to display the choices. Make sure the fields are set as follows: Host Adapter IRQ Channel = 11 (14 for 2nd board) Host Adapter DMA Channel = 5 ( 6 for 2nd board) Host Adapter SCSI ID = 7 SCSI Parity Checking = Enabled DMA Transfer Rate = 5.0 MB/Sec Host Adapter Termination = Enabled* * If there are External and internal scsi devices this should be Disabled. E. Select "SCSI Device Configuration" For each disk drive noted in step C, set "Enable Sync Negotiation = YES For each SCSI ID 0 through 7 set the following: "Enable Disconnection" = Yes "Send Start Unit Command" = No "Ignore BIOS Scan"** = No ** this field may not be present When completed, press to return to the previous menu.

The EN1641 can use the same NE2000 (nato) driver as the D-Link card. There are no switches or jumpers on the EN1641, it is strictly software setup. The following is the procedure to setup/install the Accton EN1641 in the Gpx 30/50 series. NOTE: The EN1641 is not usable in the GPx 40 Series (BOSS/VX). Installing Software Use the SCO `` Custom'' utility to install the software from the UNIX Driver diskette which accompanied the PCBA. The setup utility may be restored by using tar. restore the file ./usr/bin/set165 CONFIGURING THE EN1641 FROM SCO UNIX NOTE: The EN1641 must be installed prior to running the software setup program. Additionally the system must be in single user mode (init 1). 1) At the keyboard, enter set165 The set165 utility responds with: ``Adapters were found at the following locations'' 1. Adapter located at address 0xHHH Where HHH is the current base I/O address (in hex) of the board. 2) Enter the base I/O address of the board to be configured. (if step #1 shows 0x360 enter 360) The set165 utility responds with a display similar to the following (using 0x360 as an example). NOTE: The desired setting for each parameter is shown at the right in brackets. Configuration for: 360 [300] Interrupt Vector: 5 [9] Mode :NE2000 [NE2000] Transceiver Type: BNC [See Note 1] ROM Address :Disabled [Disabled] Ethernet address:0000e8c1156c [See Note 2] ``Would you like to modify this adapter?'' If the configuration needs changed, enter Y, otherwise enter N. NOTE1: BNC should be selected for thinnet, TP to twisted pair.

Respond by entering N If you answered Y in section 2, the setup utility will go through each field allowing for the desired value to be entered. After going through each field, the setup will ask: ``Would you like these values saved to the adapter?'' Enter Y Setup responds with: ``It is necessary to restart the system to get the changes to take effect.'' 4) Setup responds with ``Would you like to modify another adapter?'' Enter N 5) Restart the system by entering shutdown -y -I6 -g0 6) After the system has restarted, install the TCP product. If it has not previously been installed.
