HP-UX 11i Installation and Update Guide, March 2003

Configuring Built-In PCI Networking
PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000
Appendix D 203
If your network uses BNC connections, attach the LAN cable to the
10 Mbits/s BNC connector.
If your network uses Attachment Unit Interfaces (AUIs), attach your
10 Mbits/s Media Access Unit (MAU) to the AUI connector. Only use
one of the three connectors at a time; disconnect the other two
connectors on the card.
NOTE The RJ-45 connection operates at either 10 or 100 Mbits/s, but the
BNC and AUI connections operate only at 10 Mbits/s. Also, the Link
Status LED is for the RJ-45 connector only; the Link Status LED is
dark if the AUI or BNC port is used.
For 100 Base-FX (fiber), attach the fiber optic cable to the duplex SC
connector. Cabling can be either 62.5 or 125 micron multimode fiber
optic cable. The operating distances for fiber optic cable for V-Class
systems are:
• Node-to-repeater hub: 150 m.
• Half-duplex from node to switch or hub: 400 m.
• The fiber card does not support full-duplex node.
c. Attach the free end of the cable to any unused port on the
appropriate hub or switch (or into a wall jack that is connected to a
hub or switch). Connect power cable to system. Set the hub or switch
speed and duplex mode. The PCI 10/100Base-TX card operates in
either full-duplex or half-duplex mode. The Base-TX card
autonegotiates; the fiber card does not. If using the 100Base-FX card,
set the duplex mode manually to half-duplex.
d. Power up the system. When the system is up, any error messages
will appear on the terminal display or system console. You can also
use the dmesg command to retrieve start-up messages later.
e. If you are using the RJ-45 connector on the PCI 10/100Base-TX or
you are using the 100Base-FX card, verify that the Link LED on the
card is on. The Link LED will remain dark if you are using either the
BNC or AUI connector.
