If it is necessary to revert from the network option back to standard (non-network), the COM4N must be converted back to standard as well. The network option required shared interrupts and standard uses unique interrupts for each port. The non-network version of the hardware will not operate with shared interrupts.
Required Materials and Tools
Upgrade Parts Required
- IRQ cable (3 connector, CBL-151-1124F)
- “COM4” ejector tab
Tools/supplies Required
- Flat blade screwdriver
- Antistatic (ESD) wrist strap
- Wire-wrap tool
- 30ga wire-wrap wire
| NOTE | Non-network version of the hardware will not operate with shared interrupts. |
| Caution | Follow proper antistatic precautions when handling the boards. |
1. Remove all jumpers from J15, J16 and J17.
2. Add the following jumpers. Refer to figure 1 for location:
| J16 | 3-4 |
| J17 |
1-2 3-7 |
3. The Hardware Watchdog MUST be enabled. Verify the jumper J18 is installed.
4. Remove the COM4N ejector tab (held with press-pin) and replace with a COM4A tab or remove COM4N label.
5. Replace 2-position IRQ cable, CBL-151-1124G, with 3-position IRQ cable, CBL-151-1124F.
