Appendix F  Adding Peripherals to a System 

Three types of device adapters are available on HP 3000 systems:

HP-IB                 Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus

HP-FL                 Hewlett-Packard Fiber-optic Link

SCSI                  Small Computer System Interface

Before a device can be used on your system you must define a pathway,
consisting of various interface components, from the system to the
device.  Each pathway component, and the device itself, is defined (or
configured) by specifying the IO Configurator APATH or ADEV command, the
component's address, and the component's identifier.

This section also provides a procedure for configuring additional other
devices.

For additional information on the commands used in these procedures,
refer to Chapter 5 .


NOTE  The examples in this section refer to an assortment of identifiers 
      for devices, device adapters, channel adapters and, in the case of
      Series 950 through 980 systems, bus converters.  The specific
      identifiers that you would use in configuring your system depend on
      your specific hardware.  For more information refer to the
      documentation shipped with your hardware or contact your
      Hewlett-Packard support representative.
