All settings are configured using the EISA Configuration Utility.
Optional UIP Upgrade Procedures
Once you have obtained the desired field upgrade package and prepared it for installation, you can
then install the circuit card(s) in the UIP. The procedures for installing circuit cards in the UIP are
the same as those for installing in the Altos System 5000 host processor. Refer to the sections,
Installing Circuit Cards in the System 5000 and Closing the System 5000.
Converting Altos 5000 Processors to Release 4.2 UIPs
Altos 5000 processors from previous releases of NMS can be converted to UIPs for Release 4.2
NMS. The steps taken depend on what use the System 5000 had under the previous NMS and how
it will be used with Release 4.2. Table 2-4 describes the major actions to be taken when converting
a “Source” system to a 4.2 UIP.
