1.0         Introduction

               The 3430 second processor support package (mpsupport) provides the software necessary to enable
               a second Pentium processor board in a 3430 system.

                If the mpsupport package is not installed, only one processor will be enabled; if a second processor
                board is present, a message will appear on the console when the system is booted, indicating that
                the mpsupport package is needed to enable the second processor.

                Once the mpsupport package has been installed, both pentium processor boards in the 3430 will be
                enabled. Note that if only one processor board is present in the system, installing this package will
                have no effect.

2.0           installation - hardware

2.1          ensure all electrical power is disconnected from the system, and that anti-static precautions are
               employed at all relevant times.

2.2          remove the left side cover of the system to gain access to the inside.

2.3           fit plastic pcb guide rails, if not already fitted.

2.4           fit second processor into vacant slot.

                 Both processors are identical and are not position sensitive.

2.5            refit the left side cover.

2.6            reconnect power and boot the system.

                 (tech serv ref 1/11/1)

3.0            release media

                 The 3430 second processor support package (mpsupport) is distributed on one (1) flex diskette.

4.0             resources

                  The 3430 second processor support package (mpsupport) requires an NCR system 3430 running
                  NCR unix svr4 mp-ras release 2.02 or higher. The system must contain two (2) pentium processor
                  boards in order for the mpsupport package to have any effect (it may be installed on a
                  single-processor 3430, but will not change the operation of the system). There are no other
                  hardware requirements.

                  Note: if this package is installed on any other NCR system 3000 system running NCR unix svr4
                  mp-ras release 2.02 or higher, it will have no positive or negative effects.

5.0             migration

                  This is the initial release of the 3430 second processor support package (mpsupport). Additionally,
                  NCR unix svr4 mp-ras release 2.02 is the first release to support the 3430. Thus there are no
                  migration issues. Future releases of NCR unix svr4 mp-ras which can be accomplished via a
                  software update will not require re-installation of the mpsupport package.

6.0             installation - software

                 Installation of the 3430 second processor support package (mpsupport) is accomplished by
                 entering "pkgadd -d /dev/rdsk/f03hr" or "pkgplus -d /dev/rdsk/f03ht", from the unix command line
                 while logged in as root. After successful installation and relinking of the kernel, the system will need
                 to be rebooted for the mpsupport package to take effect.

7.0            testing

                Test for function.

8.1          support

               Contact o/s support at linford wood.

8.2         reporting errors

              O/s support reporting errors to NCR/AT&Tgis.

              The model number for reporting errors against the 3430 second processor support package is
              f301-2500/02 (this is the same model number that is used to report errors against the operating
             system environments).

9.0        recording action

             Update the NCR 3000 series configuration record and site log book.

             Complete any other relevant documentation.
