Supported Configurations of PICs

The 6760 ServerNet device adapter (ServerNet/DA) and the 6763 Common

Communication ServerNet adapter (CCSA) can contain plug-in cards (PICs) in the

following supported configurations. Each PIC contains a ServerNet addressable

controller (SAC).

6760 ServerNet/DA:

PIC Interfaces Supported Configurations

F-PIC Fiber-optic Up to four F-PICs can be installed on each adapter.

S-PIC SCSI Up to four S-PICs can be installed on each adapter.

(F-PICs and S-PICs cannot be mixed on the same adapter.)

6763 CCSA:

PICs Interfaces Supported Configurations

SS7TE

SS7TE2

EIA-449, V.35, X.21,

and EIA-232

T1, E1, and J1

Either:

Up to four SS7TEs or SS7TE2s in any

combination

●

Up to three SS7TEs or SS7TE2s in any

combination with one SS7TE3 operating

at 10 Mbps

Removing the Adapter From Its Enclosure 3 Open the appearance-side enclosure door. See Unlocking and Opening a System Enclosure Door. 4 Locate the adapter that contains the PIC you will remove. 5 Prepare and remove the adapter from its enclosure. ● For ServerNet/DAs: ❍ For G06.08 and later RVUs, use the appropriate OSM action or guided procedure. See Guided Procedures for more information. ❍ For earlier RVUs, use the instructions in the 6760 ServerNet/DA Manual.

Preparing to Install the PIC 15 If you are installing a replacement PIC, continue with Step 16. If you are adding a PIC to an existing adapter, prepare the adapter using Steps 1 through 8. ● PICs must be installed in numerical order, beginning with SAC 1. ● Remove the blank panel from the opening in the faceplate for the PIC you are installing (See SAC 4 in Opening in Faceplate of a ServerNet/DA or CCSA.

See Guided Procedures for more information. ● For earlier RVUs, continue with the instructions in the 6760 ServerNet/DA Manual. For CCSAs: ● Use the instructions in the 6763 Common Communication ServerNet Adapter Installation and Support Guide.

ESD Guidelines Figure: Working in an ESD-Protected Environment Observe the following electrostatic discharge (ESD) guidelines whenever servicing electronic components: ● Obtain an ESD protection kit and follow the directions that come with the kit. You can purchase an ESD kit from HP (T99247-A00) or from a local electronics store. Ensure that your ESD wriststrap has a built-in series resistor and that the kit includes an antistatic table mat.

Standard Operating Practices Caution. Replace only one CRU or FRU at a time. Attempting to replace more than one hardware component at a time might cause serious system outages, processor halts, and connectivity problems. Whenever you replace a CRU or a FRU, use the following standard operating practices to minimize any potential damage to the equipment: ● Complete HP training courses on system support for NonStop S-series servers.

For example, if your computer room has an ambient room temperature of 25°C (77°F) and is at an altitude of 1,524 meters (5,000 feet), you have approximately 38 minutes to replace or reinstall the second fan before components inside a system enclosure overheat.
