LED Codes
The LED flashing sequence may be particularly useful for errors that occur
very early on in Preliminary POST, thus preventing notification via the ISP
Register. The No. of Flashes defines a period of consecutive visible flashes
followed by a pause. This pattern is repeated indefinitely.

What is the purpose of the light on top of the ARTIC card?
The light on the ARTIC card indicates the status of the ARTIC POST routines.
The light normally comes on during POST (power on or reset), and goes off after
successful completion of POST. If the light remains on, an error has been
detected and an error code will be in task 0's secondary status buffer. A
flashing light indicates a memory error on the card (since the error code can
not be reported via memory).
One other difference in reset between Micro Channel and PCI systems is that
Ctrl+Alt+Del does not reset adapters in PCI systems.
J3 Clock Signal on ARTIC960 Co-Processor Platform (Micro Channel)
The ARTIC960 supplies a clock signal (25MHz) to the AIB. This signal must be
terminated at all times. Normally, the AIB circuitry terminates this signal. The
ARTIC960 has a three-pin jumper (J3), which provides an on-card
resistance-capacitance (RC) termination for the clock. If you do not have an AIB
installed, J3 is jumpered 2-3 to terminate the clock signal on the ARTIC960.
When an AIB is installed, J3 is jumpered 1-2, which is a "no-connect" position
for the on-card termination circuitry, and allows the termination to take place
using the AIB circuitry.
Note: On this ARTIC960
with an installed AIB, J3 was jumpered for 3-2, which is
supposedly for Termination. Possibly not correct...
Warning! Damage to the Memory Controller Chip
and/or the Micro Channel Interface Chip could occur if the termination is not
used when the co-processor is powered up without an AIB attached.

- At least four to six times the performance
of Portmaster Adapter/A. The 4-Port Multi-interface
Application Interface Board handles four lines of
communications data at 2.048 megabits per second.
- Intel (1) 80960ca 25-MHz processor
- Support for DMA 32-bit bus master and
peer-to-peer capability on the Micro Channel
- 64-bit streaming data (80MB/s) capability
- From 2 to 17MB of memory (capability
of 1 to 20MB through an RPQ)
- Architected to accept a 32MB single
in-line memory module (SIMM)
- System Control Block (SCB) Move-mode
For the '94 RS/6000 versions, memory supported has
dropped to the 1, 4, or 8MB SIMM.
- From 2 to 9MB of memory (additional memory available via an RPQ)
Included in this announcement is a high-speed 4-Port multi-interface
Application Interface Board (AIB). The AIB offers either EIA-232D
(asynchronous), or EIA-530 (RS422), or ISO 4903 (X.21) or ISO 4902 (V.36)
electrical interfaces for communications applications. The selection of the
specific interface is achieved by a matching cable (4 ports of 232 or 4 ports
of 422 or 4 ports of X.21 or 4 ports of V.36).
The application development driver is intended to provide a level of
interface to the adapter for those developing applications using the ARTIC960
and is not a full-function driver. The application development driver is
contained in the diagnostic diskette.
A developer's kit is offered that provides AIB design information, sample
programs, a programmer's guide/reference, and a hardware technical reference
manual. As part of the developer's kit a Developer's Assistance Program (DAP)
is provided for parties who will be developing their own software applications
and/or designing their own application interface board. The ARTIC960 DAP
Limitations
The ARTIC960 adapter requires a 32-bit slot in the following Micro Channel
machines
There is no limitation on the quantity of ARTIC960 cards per
system other than 32-bit Micro Channel long slot availability and the amount of
power furnished by the system. A typical ARTIC960 adapter, without the AIB,
draws 12.5 watts of 5VDC power. The Multi-interface AIB draws an additional 3.7
watts.
Limitations RS/6000
There is a limitation of 5 IBM ARTIC960 coprocessor with the supplied driver
in all models except Machine Type 7009 Model C10 which has a limit of 2.
Memory
The adapter is designed with two memory banks. The instruction memory is 1MB
large and is soldered in place. The other memory bank or data memory (also
referred to as "packet") is provided in the form of a selectable pluggable SIMM
package. The SIMM sizes are 1, 4, 8, and 16MB, with the card designed to accept
a 32MB SIMM. A SIMM must be installed for the ARTIC960 to operate.
Note: I have an ARTIC960 with a 6 port V.36 AIB,
and the SIMM is a 4M ECC SIMM. 68X6356 1Mx40 E 80 ns, 5 V

ability to disable channel check sources. Channel check sources is always
enabled. Change Advanced Co-Processor Platform Adapter to ARTIC960 Co-Processor
Platform Adapter.
Device I/O Address Six-bit field that
selects the I/O address of the ARTIC960 Adapter. The six bits represent bits 15
through 10 of the I/O address. Address bits 15, 14, and 13 are in POS register
5. Address bits 12, 11, and 10 are in POS subaddress 100 (POS register 3A).

interrupts the system. The highest to lowest interrupt priorities are as
follows: 9, 10, 14, 7. The interrupt level may be shared with another adapter.

Asynchronous/Synchronous Channel Check
Mode that the ARTIC960 Adapter uses when driving -CHCK active.
When synchronous mode is selected, -CHCK is signaled by the adapter with a
pulse on -CHCK during the data transfer cycles. When selected for asynchronous
mode, the adapter drives -CHCK active asyschronously to a data transfer, i.e
-CHCK remains active until reset by the system master. Default is
Asynchronous.
