14.1. Verifying Interconnect Communications
Here are the steps for verifying interconnect communications between the OS 2200 nodes
and each Intel node.
1. Depending on communications controller model, install microcode as follows:
• For servers with a Host LAN Controller-2 (HLC-2), install microcode as described
in 14.2.1.
• For servers with a channel service I/O processor (CSIOP), install channel adapter
microcode as described in 14.2.2.
2. Install the CC or CEC tape for verifying communications (14.3).
3. Install DSPER (14.4).
4. Bring up a version of CMS 1100 that is adequate for at least the communications test
(14.5).
5. Test interconnect communications to determine whether the hardware is ready for use
(14.6).
14.2. Installing Microcode
This subsection describes how to install the microcode for the HLC-2 and the channel
adapter.
