1 Introduction Overview The HP Integrity NC552SFP 2P 10GbE adapter is a dual port 10GbE adapter for the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 and Superdome2 systems. The HP Product number is AT118A. These two descriptions refer to the same device and are used interchangeably throughout this document. The AT118A adapter uses the BladeEngines 3 (BE3) Emulex chip and is an eight lane (x8) PCI Express (PCIe) 10 Gigabit network controller offering optimal throughput.
Network management Management support The AT118A adapter ships with agents that can be managed from HP Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP. Server integration • The AT118A adapter is a validated, tested and qualified solution that is optimized for HP Integrity rx2800 i2 and Superdome2 servers. PXE (LAN boot) • Support for pre-boot execution environment (PXE) enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely from anywhere.
2 Installing an adapter IMPORTANT: See the following chapter before installing the AT118A adapter: “Installing the HP-UX operating system components” (page 8) Preventing electrostatic discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
4. 5. 6. Insert the card into the highest-performance PCIe slot available. Attach all the cables to the adapter. Do not power on the system until the following section is complete: “Connecting other devices” (page 7) Installing a low profile bracket You may have to install a low profile bracket prior to the product installation. The low profile bracket replaces the existing standard profile bracket shipped on the product. 1.
3 Installing the HP-UX operating system components HP-UX operating system The HP Integrity NC552SFP 2P 10GbE adapter is supported through the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system. Prerequisites Before installing the adapter, follow these steps: 1. The adapter card is supported through the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 and Superdome2 server platforms. Verify compliance with supported configurations using the HP Ethernet System-Driver Support Matrix at the following website: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-iocards-docs 2.
Important Ethernet patches and updates Review the 10GigEthr-03 (iocxgbe) Ethernet Driver for HP-UX Release Notes located at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-11iv3-iocards-manuals . Search for the latest patch and dependency requirements. Install all driver software and dependency patches before you install the adapter. NOTE: Patches are available from the Software Depot website: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/index.do Update the adapter firmware CAUTION: Updating the adapter firmware is REQUIRED.
4. Run swinstall to install the software. Enter the following command: /usr/sbin/swinstall The Software Selection window and the Specify Source window open. 5. In the Specify Source window, change the Source Host Name if necessary. Enter the mount point of the drive in the Source Depot Path field and click OK to return to the Software Selection Window. Click Help to get more information. 6. 7. 8. 9. Select the appropriate software bundle for your adapter. Select Mark for Install from the Actions menu.
3. Observe whether the ioscan output reports the following: lan 0/3/0/0/0/0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN If reported, HP-UX detected the adapter but the iocxgbe driver is not recognized. 4. If the correct driver is installed and the adapter is not listed in the ioscan output, contact HP for assistance. Verify Ethernet connectivity Once the HP Ethernet software and hardware are installed and running, use the following steps to verify connectivity: 1. Check the state of all Ethernet hardware and interfaces.
