155 Adapters Hardware Installation Guide

HP 9000 K-Class systems

WARNING Electric shock hazard. Switch off the system, disconnect the power cable and all

telecommunications network cables before opening the system or accessing the

slots.

Cleaning precautions

Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that you keep the ﬁber optic cable plugs

clean by always covering the ends of the cable with the protective dust caps when

the cables are not connected to the ATM adapter. You must also cover the ﬁber optic

sockets on the ATM adapter with their protective dust caps. Special cleaning kits for

cleaning the cables and sockets are commercially available.

Installing the ATM adapter

The drawings show an installation on the HP-HSC expansion I/O board of a K-Class

system. Note that only some K-Class systems can be fitted with an HP-HSC

expansion I/O board. The same instructions are valid for installation on the core I/O

board of a K-Class system.

1 Log on as root and shutdown the system

/etc/shutdown -h

2 Disconnect the power cable and all telecommunications network cables.

3 Choose which slot you are going to use for the ATM adapter.

4 Remove the protective dust cap on the sockets of the ATM adapter.

Note For optimum ATM performance on a K400 system, you MUST use one of the four

HSC slots on the HP-HSC expansion I/O board.

Caution Wear the ESD wrist strap provided when handling the ATM adapter. Observe all

normal anti-static precautions. See the documentation supplied with the system for

more information.

5 On some Class K systems there are retaining hooks at the top and bottom of the

host card. If necessary release these hooks.
