Adding and configuring SCO-supported serial cards

Adding and configuring SCO-supported serial cards

To install an SCO-supported serial card:

  1. Shut down the system using the System Shutdown Manager or the shutdown(ADM) command.

  2. Install the serial card(s) and configure your hardware according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your system includes a configuration disk or BIOS setup program, use it as instructed. If your system is configured with switch settings on the main system board (motherboard), define the new ports by setting the proper switches (refer to your hardware manuals for the settings).

  3. Reboot the system, and log in as root. The next step is to define the configuration of the serial card hardware using the Serial Manager.
