Finding Parts
3-2: Using and Getting Part Numbers
In UNIX Directories
The Part Manager,
/bayeast/dra/utils/partmgr
or
/baywest/dra/utils/
bnw_partmgr
, is the primary tool to do part lookup, part number requesting, part
cancellation, part printing, etc., via its menu options. It has slightly different
versions on the East and West coasts.
Using Part Manager to Find Part Numbers
EDA encourages you to use the
docmgr
interface in
/bayeast/dra/utils/docmgr
or
/baywest/dra/utils/bnw_docmgr
to run
partmgr
and other EDA tools.
To find a part number and associated information:
1.
Run /bay
dir
/dra/utils/docmgr or bnw_docmgr and select the option:
1). Run PARTMGR (Part Management)
2.
Choose the following option when the Part Manager appears:
1). Look up an Existing Bay Networks Part
3.
Choose the type of search from the menu of options.
4.
For each option, follow its associated prompts.
