Installation
This chapter explains how to configure and install a QL 4001 board. The QL 4001 configurable options are:
* Memory (Default is 4MB)
* Board Node Number (Default is 1)
* I/O Address (Default is 200 Hex)
* Reset on loss of DCD or DSR (Disabled is
default)
The boards also require an interrupt on the file server or bridge in which they are installed and a 32-byte range of consecutive I/O addresses. Both the interrupt and the I/O addresses are shared by all QL 4000 Series boards installed in the server or bridge. These options are software configurable, and are described in the QL 4000 Series Guide to Operations.
Figure 2-1, QL 4001 Board
The QL 4001 is equipped with a minimum of 4 MB of RAM.
The QL 4001 board's RAM resides in a standard PS/2 type 72-pin SIMM. Available configurations are:

SIMM TYPE AVAILABILITY MEMORY
1M x 36 Multiple sources 4 Megabytes
2M x 36 Cubix Corporation 8 Megabytes
4M x 36 Multiple sources 16 Megabytes

Each node on a Novell network must be identified by a unique address. This address consists of two parts: a network number and a node number. When the Cubix server driver is installed, it must be assigned a unique network number. Each QL 4000 series node to be supported by the server driver must be assigned a unique node number. The node number is selected by a DIP switch (SW2) on the QL 4000 board. Valid node numbers range from 1 to 250. Assign the QL 4001 node numbers consecutively beginning with node number 1 as this will maximize network performance.
The QL 4001 board has an eight position DIP switch to identify the node number for each board. A switch is OFF when its handle is away from the board. Figure 2-3 shows SW2 set to node number 1. Table 22 shows switch settings for all node numbers.

Each QL 4001 board has a seven position DIP switch (SW1). Switches 1 and 2 of SW1 select the base I/O address used by the server driver to communicate with the QL 4001 processors. The QL interface requires 32 consecutive I/O ports beginning with the base I/O address. Base I/O address options are hexadecimal 200, 220, 300, and 320. The 32 port ranges are indicated in Figure 2-4.
The I/O addresses selected must not be assigned to any nonQL 4000 Series devices installed in the file server or bridge hosting the QL 4000 boards. However, all of the QL 4000 Series boards installed in this host should have the same base I/O address.
* Switch Numbers 3 and 4 must be in the ON position.
