DOCUMENT ID: 1059-02 SYNOPSIS: Installing the New DPT 2022 EISA controller OS RELEASE: PRODUCT: Solaris x86 KEYWORDS: Install configure DPT 2022 EISA controller DESCRIPTION: An outline of some the issues and observations relating to the installation and configuration of the DPT 2022 EISA controller. SOLUTION: This controller is a next generation low-cost replacement for the now obsoleted DPT-2012 family. The card is a full length EISA controller with a reduced chip count. The cache module now sits on the controller and takes industry standard 36bit SIMMs rather than taking up a second slot and needing proprietary memory modules. By default the card has Jumper Y20 enabled which means that for those cards with floppy controllers on them -they will conflict with any other host based floppy controllers. BIOS and SmartROM were at level 5C and 2C respectively. This is important to remember as earlier revisions may cause a problem especially with most UNIX environments. If you have an earlier release of firmware please contact your DPT channel for a BIOS / SmartROM upgrade. Finally the controller EISA setup defaults to using IRQ 15 level interrupts. For Solaris x86 change this setting to IRQ 15 edge interrupts. Finally, DPT recommended booting up DOS and running their dptmgr.exe utility to mark the initial installation as being a Solaris installation. No further action is required. The installation should proceed normally. DATE APPROVED: 09/15/95
