Example 2: Multiple IBM ARTIC Adapters
The sequence of entries in the ICAPARM.PRM file determines the logical card numbering of the adapters
(the first parameter line is for logical card 0).
The logical card numbering for PCI adapters must match the physical card numbering. The logical card
numbering for ISA adapters can be changed, but the entries for all PCI adapters must appear in the list
before any entries for ISA adapters.
The following example shows an ICAPARM.PRM file for two ISA and two PCI adapters in an ISA/PCI
system. (For an explanation of the fields, see the field descriptions under “Example 1: One IBM ARTIC
Adapter” on page A-2.)
Field Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 11
# 1 1 5 32 F E1 ;
# 1 1 1 1 32 F E1 ;
# 6A 6F 2 2 2 2 C E1 ;
# 2A 6E 1 1 5 32 C E1 $
In this example, the two PCI adapters (physical card 0000 and 0001) are assigned to logical card 0 and 1,
respectively. The ISA adapter at address 06A0 is assigned to logical card 2, and the ISA adapter at
address 02A0 is assigned to logical card 3.
Changing Your CONFIG.SYS File
If OS/2 and Communications Manager/2 (CM/2) are being used, then one line of the CONFIG.SYS file
must be modified (using a text editor) to specify the location of the ICAPARM.PRM file. Change
CONFIG.SYS as follows, but substitute your specific drive paths:
Change:
DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\ICARICIO.SYS
To:
DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\ICARICIO.SYS C:\CMLIB\ICAPARM.PRM
Note: Make this change after CM/2 is configured. Later, if CM/2 is configured again, do not have it
replace the CONFIG.SYS file. However, if you must let CM/2 change CONFIG.SYS to add new
devices, just edit CONFIG.SYS again to replace the ICAPARM.PRM parameter.
If only OS/2 is being used, the following applies:
Change:
DEVICE=C:\YOUR_ARTIC_DIR\ICARICIO.SYS
To:
DEVICE=C:\YOUR_ARTIC_DIR\ICARICIO.SYS C:\YOUR_ARTIC_DIR\ICAPARM.PRM
