170.0. "DE450 / PCI bridge / WNT ???" by SAYER::ELMORE (Steve [email protected] 412-364-5893) Tue Feb 11 1997 17:04

    Does anyone have experience getting a DE450-CA (Ethernet adaptor)
    to work in the secondary PCI slots of a Gobi 14-slot backplane?
    
    OS - WNT 4.0
    
    Ibus Intel SBC
    
    Customer puts the DE450 in the primary pci and it works fine.  
    
    I searched this conference but didn't see anything.  I also have a call
    into the Networks people for their comments.  It apparently works in a
    AlphaServer 1000a across the bridge.
    
    Thanks,
    Steve

Steve,

The DE450 driver needs to be re-installed if you move it from in-front of the
bridge to behind the bridge.

Basically remove the driver from the networks appelet.
Power Down.
Move the Card.
Power Up.
Install the adapter again.

170.2WNT expectations?SAYER::ELMORESteve [email protected] 4123645893Wed Feb 12 1997 14:1610
    Thanks Iain,
    
    I've told the customer.  He will try it today.  Thanks.
    
    Is this procedure generally true when moving PCI options from one side
    of the bridge to another?  I take it this is a WNT "thing" -- WNT
    expects it to be in the pci slot where it was originally installed?
    
    Regards,
    Steve
