Introducing FDDI Adapters
Chapter 1. Introducing FDDI Adapters
This Installation Guide covers the installation and configuration of FDDI Adapters in MCA
and PCI bus computers.
Types of FDDI Adapters
There are three types of FDDI Adapters:
• UTP Single Ring Adapter (Type B2-P for MCA and B5–3 for PCI).
• Fiber Single Ring Adapter (Type B2-R for MCA and B5–4 for PCI).
• Fiber Dual Ring Adapter
(Type B2-S for MCA and B5–5 for PCI).
In addition to the board itself (hardware), you must also install device driver software for the
operating system, so that programs can communicate with the board.
