Ethernet Adapter Installation and Support Guide—425684-003

About This Guide

This guide provides step-by-step procedures for installing, replacing, and relocating

Ethernet 4 ServerNet adapters (E4SAs). This guide is intended for anyone who installs

or maintains E4SAs on HP NonStop S-series servers.

Who Should Use This Guide

This guide is intended for anyone who installs or maintains E4SAs on NonStop

S-series servers. This guide assumes you have experience in the following:

•

ServerNet LAN Systems Access (SLSA)

•

Tandem Service Management (TSM) Service Application

What’s in This Guide

Table i shows how this guide is organized.

Note. This guide describes using TSM to perform E4SA procedures. As of G06.22 and

later RVUs, the HP NonStop Open System Management (OSM) Interface replaces TSM

as the system management tool of choice for NonStop S-series servers and is required to

support new functionality in G06.22 and later RVUs. OSM provides the same functionality

as TSM while overcoming limitations of TSM. For instructions on using OSM or migrating

to OSM, refer to the OSM documentation for your RVU.
