Series 800 HP-PB: Verify that you have the HP-PB Token Ring
Network Adapter manual.
Prior to loading the Token Ring product onto your system, check that you
have met the following hardware and software prerequisites:
PCI Systems
You can install PCI Token Ring from your application media during a
normal system operation where the following requirements have been
met.
Hardware Requirements
On HP-UX 11.x systems, A5783A is supported on all HP-UX systems
with the PCI bus. A4930A is supported on V-Class servers only.
Although V-Class and Superdome systems have a PCI bus, they do not
permit user installations. If you need to install PCI Token Ring on these
machines, please contact Hewlett-Packard for service.
OS Platform and Version Compatibility
HP-UX CORE B.10.20 or B.11.00 or later.
Software Requirements
The system must have standard HP-UX 10.20 or 11.x core products,
including Streams and LAN/9000 software, installed on it.
Please refer to the Release Notes document for required patch
information.
The major characteristics of the PCI Token Ring card are listed in Table
1-1.
Other Requirements
The system is already booted up for operation.
Single-user state is not required.
No additional reboot is required after the installation as the PCI Token
Ring software/hardware installation procedure causes a system reboot.
