567.0. "DEFCN-SA fails installation,DEFCN-AB 2.3" by HOO78C::RIETKERK (Bart Rietkerk - CS Rotterdam - Holland) Wed May 13 1992 09:50
    Gentlemen,
    
    I recently installed a DEFCN-SA in a DEFCN-AB (firmware 2.3).
    The slot where it is installed in was previously occupied by a
    4-port Fiber card.
    
    After installation the DEFCN-SA doesn't pass its selftest, and the
    red "module fault" led remains on.
    
    The installation procedure doesn't mention any configuration
    restrictions.
    
    Does anyone know if
    -	Some hardware/software settings have to be done after replacing
    	a fiberboard with a STPboard?
    -	DECconcentrator 500 firmware 2.3 DOES in fact support a DEFCN-SA?
    
    Naturally, I could just have a broken board, so I'll try to replace it
    in the next couple of day's
    
    TNX in advance for any hints!
    
    Bart.

    Hello,
    
    You should get a copy of V3.1 code (the latest).  V2.3 does not support
    6 port boards.
