from PC2E-A 594E configuration hardware (fig 3) Before attempting to create a controller configuration ,locate the 594E controller looking at the rear of the controller record the cards ID numbers ,enter the card ID number in the slots as they appear. Note: The ID number in slot 1 if fixed and is based on the controller model being configured,if the card id number does not match there is a previous configuration which was completed for a 594T controller,to resolve close the configuration and rename the 594conf.dat .Start the utility again, the configuration will open with the correct ID numbers.
*Note: This configuration was created based on a 594E controller with one twinax card,if the controller you are attempting to configure has multiple twinax feature cards,add the card ID numbers in the appropriate slot positions to match the controller hardware.
