Notes
SNC 1.2 requires Sun 4400 CPU 501-1381-09 or 501-1899-01.1.
SNC 1.2 requires IPI Firmware 525-1023-05, 525-1024-10, and 525-1025-10. This firmware is
installed on ISP-80 IPI Controller 501-1539-10 and 501-1855-04.
2.
Under Interphase Release 1.4, the VME address space of the fifth NC400 and the Prestoserve
board is at 0x800000. If both Prestoserve (pr0) and a fifth NC400 (ne4) are installed, change
the address of pr0 to 0xc00000 on the Prestoserve board and in the kernel.
When the Prestoserve is set to 0xc00000, the alternate 24-bit settings for the NC400 at
0xc00000 - 0xc7ffff and 0xc80000 - 0xcfffff cannot be used.
When the Prestoserve is set to 0xc00000, the address space 0xc00000 - 0xcfffff, reserved for
large OEM/user devices, is used.
3.
SunOS for the Sun 4400 reserves 1 Megabyte of DVMA space for VME32 peripheral devices.
If the sum of DVMA space requested by VME32 devices is greater than 1 Megabyte, some
peripherals will not run correctly.
1 Network CoProcessor uses 192 Kilobytes of DVMA space
2 Network CoProcessors use 320 Kilobytes of DVMA space
3 Network CoProcessors use 320 Kilobytes of DVMA space
4 Network CoProcessors use 320 Kilobytes of DVMA space
5 Network CoProcessors use 400 Kilobytes of DVMA space
6 Network CoProcessors use 480 Kilobytes of DVMA space
4.
SunOS for the SS600MP reserves 6 Megabytes of DVMA space for VME32 peripheral devices.
If the sum of DVMA space requested by VME32 devices is greater than 6 Megabytes, some
peripherals will not run correctly. Each Network CoProcessor uses 416 Kilobytes of DVMA
space.
