3) Moving from a Central Bus System to a Precision Bus System
A) FOR PRODUCTS USING THE PSI CARD, NS Point-to-Point Link (36922A)
SNA Link (30291A), and BSC Link (32007A);
Whether customers will be upgrading to a higher tier, staying on
the same tier, or downgrading to a lower tier, they will need to
purchase the Precision Bus PSI card for the new system. At this
time, we do not have return credits for the Central Bus PSI card.
We are investigating adding a return credit product.
Order examples;
Upgrading a S/932 to a S/957:
36922A option 002 - Precision Bus PSI card
option 099 - no cable (current cable can be used)
option 330 - link software for S/957
option 0CE - upgrade credit for S/932
Same tier exchange - a S/935 for a S/957:
36922A option 002 - Precision Bus PSI card
option 099 - no cable
option 399 - Hardware only
Downgrading a S/935 to a S/947:
36922A option 002 - Precision Bus PSI card
option 099 - no cable
option 320 - link software for S/947
option 0CF - credit for S/935
Note: SNA Link and BSC Link do not have a hardware only option,
399. This option will be available on the January 1 CPL. In
the meantime, customers can order only the Precision Bus PSI
card via the NS Point-to-Point product when they a staying
on the same tier.
B) FOR THE LAN CARD, ThinLAN Link (36923A);
9X7 AND 9X7LX SYSTEMS
All 9X7 and 9X7LX systems require only one LAN card for terminal,
printer, and X.25 communication, and system-to-system traffic.
Customers can use the LAN card shipped with the system for LAN
traffic, thus they need to only order the software portion of the
LAN Link if they are upgrading or downgrading. (If they are
staying on the same tier, they do not need to order anything for
their ThinLAN product. They can use their current software. For
the hardware, the LANIC card shipped with the system has a
ThinLAN MAU built onto it. If customers want to use an EtherTwist
MAU or ThickLAN MAU, they can use the MAU from their current
system. There is an external AUI connector for ThickLAN MAUs or
Ethertwist MAUs on the card.) At this time, we do not have return
credits for the LANIC card on 900 series HP 3000s. We are
investigating adding a return credit product.
Order examples;
Upgrading a S/932 to a S/957:
36923A option 090 - Software only
option 330 - link software for the S/957
option 0CE - upgrade credit for S/932
Downgrading a S/935 to a S/947:
36923A option 090 - Software only
option 320 - link software for the S/947
option 0CF - credit for S/935
OTHER SYSTEMS
The Precision Bus systems are shipped with a CIB adapter that
allows customers to plug their LAN card from the current Central
Bus system into the new Precision Bus system. Thus customers only
need to order the software portion of the LAN Link.
