Installing the Adapter

HP HSC FDDI/9000 is supported on K, T-600, and D Class server

systems and B, C, and J class workstations. For more detailed

information and illustrations, refer to the sections in this chapter or to

the appropriate owner’s guides for each of the models.

HP HSC FDDI/9000 contains electronic components that can easily be

damaged by small amounts of static electricity. To avoid damage, follow

these guidelines:

• Store adapters in their antistatic plastic bags until you are ready to

install them.

• If possible, work in a static-free area.

• Handle the adapter only by the edges. Do not touch electronic

components or electrical traces.

• Use the disposable grounding wrist strap provided with this product

(HP 9300-1408). Follow the instructions provided with the strap.

• A suitable electrical ground is any exposed metal surface on the

computer chassis.

To install the HSC FDDI adapter:

1. Attach the grounding strap to your wrist or ankle.

2. Shut down the system:

/usr/sbin/shutdown -h

Wait until the system responds with “OK to press reset” or “Halted,

you may now cycle power”, then power off the system.

3. Disconnect the AC power cord from the system unit and from the AC

power source.

4. Remove the power supply cover plate.
