DWLPA PCI PIU

This manual provides comprehensive installation instructions for the DWLPA PCI Plug-in Unit (PIU) within an AlphaServer 8400 system. It covers the initial setup of the DWLPA-AA/AB PIU into either a system or expander cabinet.

Beyond the core PIU installation, the guide details how to integrate several optional components:

• DWLPA-BA/BB: Installation of a second PCI shelf into an existing DWLPA PIU, including preparation of the PIU with airflow plenums and slide rails.
• StorageWorks Shelf (BA658/BA661): Instructions for installing a StorageWorks shelf into the DWLPA PIU.
• KFE70-AA PCI-to-EISA bridge: Installation procedures for this bridge, which includes setting up a floppy drive, running the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU), and installing a ferrite sleeve.

The document concludes with essential verification procedures, outlining how to run system self-tests and use console commands (show configuration, show device) to confirm the successful installation and proper operation of all components, as well as running the RAID Configuration Utility (RCU) if applicable. The manual is intended for Digital customer service engineers and self-maintenance customers.
