Hardware and Software Installation Procedure
These instructions apply to AD193A/AD194A 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet combination cards.
NOTE
If your combination card is a built-in card or was factory installed (ordered on product option 0D1), the
software bundles required for this card are already loaded onto your system’s hard drive: you do not need to
perform the following hardware and software installation steps, though you still need to configure the card’s
IP address, and optionally subnet mask and hostname. Skip to Step 3.
Adding in (installing) the card on HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2:
If adding the card yourself, you can get both the Gigabit Ethernet software driver and the Fibre Channel software driver from
the June 2006 (or later) quarterly release software media.
You do not necessarily have to load the entire operating environment (OE) if you don’t want to:
•
You can either load the entire HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2 OE from the distribution media and you will automatically get the
correct LAN and Fibre Channel software bundles.
or
•
You can just select and load the software bundle IEther-00 and FibrChanl-01 required for this card.
These AD193A/AD194A combination cards can be added to your system or replaced without the need to shut down or reboot
the system--a process called online addition and replacement (OLAR). The following instructions assume you are not
performing online addition and replacement.
Step 1: Access the system card bay
•
If the system is running, first, issue the sync command. Then shut down the system by executing: shutdown -h.
Respond “y” to the continue to shutdown prompt.
•
Wait for the system to shut down completely, and then power off the system by pressing the system off button. Ensure that
the system is grounded.
•
Open the system to gain access to the PCI backplane.
•
Select an empty PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the slot cover. The card can operate in PCI as well as PCI-X mode. Some
servers have “shared” slots. If you put this card in a shared slot that is shared with a slower card, both cards will then
operate at the slower card’s speed.
Step 2: Install the card
•
Check the latest support matrix to see the systems that support this card, how many cards per system, and if any software
updates are needed, The support matrix is available on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “Networking and
Communications.”
•
Observe the antistatic precautions. HP recommends wearing ESD straps when installing the card.
•
Record the serial number and MAC address located on the card for future reference. The MAC address labelled on the
card refers to LAN port A. Add 0x1(Hex) to obtain the MAC address for LAN port B. For fibre channel, also record the
card’s Port and Node worldwide names (WWN). The WWN labelled on each card refers to WWN for FC port 1 (the left
port). If it has 2 FC ports, add 0x2(Hex) to obtain the WWN for FC port 2 (the right port).
•
Grasp the card by its edges or faceplate with both hands, insert the card into the slot, and firmly but gently press the card
in until it is fully seated.
