Installation Procedure
Note
Expander
Installing the Floating-Point Accelerator involves two tasks:
• preparing the operating system for the new hardware
• physically installing the hardware.
This procedure describes how to install the hardware only.
For instructions on preparing the operating system to use the
hardware, refer to the installation note that came with the
Floating-Point Accelerator.
If your system does not already include a backplane expander,
you may need to install and configure one in order to use this
product. If you know that you will need to install an expander,
go ahead and do so, using the instructions packaged with the
expander.
The hardware installation process can take either of two paths, depending
upon which computer you are installing the Accelerator in. An installation
procedure is presented here for the Models 330, 360, and 370. The HP 98248B
Accelerator is not supported in the Model 350.
