Installing HyperFabric Adapters
This section contains information about installing HyperFabric adapters
in HP 9000 systems. Online Addition and Replacement (OLAR)
information is provided in the section, “Online Addition and
Replacement—HP-UX 11i v1 Only” on page 52.
CAUTION HyperFabric adapters contain electronic components that can easily be
damaged by small amount of electricity. To avoid damage, follow these
guidelines:
• Store adapters in their antistatic plastic bags until installation.
• Work in a static-free area, if possible.
• Handle adapters by the edges only. Do not touch electronic
components or electrical traces.
• Use the disposable grounding wrist strap provided with each
adapter. Follow the instructions included with the grounding strap.
• Use a suitable ground—any exposed metal surface on the computer
chassis.
IMPORTANT Although the A6092A (copper) adapter is supported on HP 9000
Superdome systems, HP recommends you to install only fibre adapters in
Superdome systems because the A4892A copper HF1 cable is not flexible
enough to use in the cable management system in the Superdome
chassis—to use the copper cable in a Superdome, it would likely be
necessary to remove some parts of the Superdome cabinet.
For specific instructions, see system-specific documentation on
“installing networking adapters” for each type of HP 9000 system that
HyperFabric adapters will be installed into.
When the HyperFabric adapters have been installed, go to “Installing the
Software” on page 58.
