Section 2. The 3270 PCI Card for Personal Computers with PCI Buses This section contains information for installing, operating, and testing the 3270 PCI Card for personal computers with a PCI bus. Operating Requirements The 3270 PCI Card operates under the same environmental limits as IBM personal computers or compatible system units.
System Resources Required The 3270 PCI Card requires system resources to operate correctly. The following resources must be available to the card: One hardware interrupt An 8-KB memory page 16 bytes of I/O space. The PCI system configurator will make assignments for these | resources during PC startup.
Installation Instructions 1. Set the power switches for all connected devices to OFF. 2. Unplug the system unit power cord from the power outlet. Note: Steps 3 through 6 are summarized instructions for installing the card. Refer to your personal computer operator’s manual for specific feature card installation instructions.
Operation How the 3270 PCI Card operates depends on the application software being used. Refer to the documentation that came with your application software for instructions on how to install and use it. For information on available software for the card, see your personal computer dealer.
Diagnostic Utility The diagnostic utility is on the CD-ROM shipped with your 3270 PCI card. It is a Windows application that runs in the same operating system environment that the 3270 emulation program runs (Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT).
Running the Diagnostic Utility Note to Windows NT Users If your PC operating system is Windows NT, you must run the setup utility prior to running the diagnostic utility. This note does not apply to Windows 95 or Windows 98 users. Windows NT users run the setup utility as follows: 1.
5. Select Diagnostic Utility from the CD-ROM menu. The window shown in Figure 1 appears. Figure 1. 3270 Emulation PCI Adapter Diagnostics - Test 6. Select Test at the bottom of the 3270 Emulation PCI Adapter Diagnostics window to run the diagnostics. The test takes approximately 12 seconds to complete.
7. Four check marks, as shown in Figure 2, indicate that all diagnostics completed successfully. This means that the adapter is functioning properly and is connected to an active control unit.
Procedures 1. Did the message “No Adapter Card Found” appear? No Continue at step 3. Yes Continue at step 2. 2. Check the following to isolate the problem. Run the diagnostic program after each step to see if the problem is resolved. a. Make sure that the card is fully seated in the system PCI slot.
Remove the card from the PCI slot and reinstall it in a vacant PCI slot according to the “Installation Instructions” on page 9. c. If the problem persists, contact technical support (see Appendix A on page 23). 5. Did an X appear beside the picture of the coax cable on the diagnostic display? No Continue at step 7.
Yes Continue at step 10 on page 17. 10. Check the following to isolate the problem. Run the diagnostic program to see if the problem is resolved. a. Run the setup utility as described in the Note to Windows NT Users on page 12. b. If the problem still persists, have the system unit serviced.
