AD193A/AD194A PCI-X 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet Combination Card Overview

Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Features

The AD193A/AD194A PCI-X Combination cards have the following features:

• PCI-X 133 MHz capable card. It can operate at 32-bit or 64-bit compatible modes and is supported in the following

frequencies: PCI 66, PCI-X 66, and PCI-X 133. Best performance is achieved by putting the card in a “dual-rope” PCI-X

133 slot. To identify which slots are the dual rope slots in a particular system, please refer to the hardware users’ guide for

each system. The AD193A/AD194A card is not supported in PCI 33 bus mode. It operates in 3.3V slots only. Reduction

of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant.

• Supports HP-UX 11i v2 (64 bit) or 11i v1 on HP 9000 (PA-RISC-based) and HP-UX 11i v2 (64 bit) only on HP Integrity

(Itanium or Itanium2-based) platforms.

• The Gigabit Ethernet ports support use of Jumbo Frames.

• Supports HP Serviceguard and Auto-Port Aggregation (APA) for high availability.

• The Gigabit Ethernet port supports virtual LANs (VLANs). This feature is described in Using HP-UX VLANs on

http://docs.hp.com.

• Supports PCI-X online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on specified systems.For instructions on how to perform online

addition and replacement (OLAR) for PA-RISC-based systems running HP-UX 11i v1, see Configuring HP-UX For

Peripherals. For instructions on performing OL* for Itanium-based systems and PA-RISC systems running HP-UX 11i v2

of September 2004 or later, refer to the Interface Card OL* Support Guide.

• Supports configuration through SAM or command line.

• vPars support with vPars 4.02 and 4.03 on supported HP Integrity and HP 9000 (PA-RISC-based) systems. Enables

creation of additional partitions per server.

• Supports 16k LUNs on the Fibre Channel ports.

• Supports boot/dump on Fibre Channel ports and LAN Boot on Gigabit Ethernet ports.

• Online/Offline Diagnostics.

• Ignite-UX support.

• Supports readout of Vital Product Data (VPD) for Fibre Channel. To read the Fibre Channel VPD, use: fcmsutil

devicef ilena me vpd.

• Firmware for the Fibre Channel ports -- version is 4.00.70 as of the publication of this document. The FC EFI driver

firmware version is 1.05. For GigE, the bootcode is version 2.16; EFI is v3.0.0.3 or later. To check for updates of these,

see the section “For Further Information” in this document.

• Fibre channel transfer rates of 4Gbit/s, 2Gbit/s, and 1Gbit/s. The Fibre Channel speed

LED colors indicate the

following speeds:

— Yellow (4G)

— Green (2G)

— Amber (1G)

• Auto speed sensing on the Fibre Channel ports.

• Supports Fibre Channel protocols SCSI-FCP-2 and FC-Tape.

• Supports the following Fibre Channel topologies:

—FC-SW

—FC-AL-2
