1 HP-UX Installation This chapter contains the following sections that describe how to install the A7011A or A7012A PCI-X 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet adapters on an HP-UX system: • “Hardware and Software Installation Procedure” • “Network Card Configuration Worksheet” Thank you for purchasing HP I/O Cards If you are installing an HP I/O card as an add-in device, please review this document before installation.
HP-UX Installation Hardware and Software Installation Procedure • Select an empty PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the slot cover. The card can operate in PCI as well as PCI-X mode. Step 2: Install the card • Check the latest support matrix to see the systems that support this card, how many cards per system, and if any software updates are needed, The support matrix is available on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “Networking and Communications.” • Observe the antistatic precautions.
HP-UX Installation Hardware and Software Installation Procedure Step 5: Install the latest software • Load the software media into the appropriate drive. The Gigabit Ethernet software bundle (IEther-00) for HP-UX 11i v 1.0 is on the December 2003 application CD; for HP-UX 11i v 2.0, the driver is on the March 2004 application CD. • Run the swinstall program to install the software using the command: swinstall. • Change the host name after “Source Host Name,” if necessary.
HP-UX Installation Hardware and Software Installation Procedure • Installation is complete when you have successfully run linkloop, ping and netstat. To configure remote systems, see the Ethernet Support Guide available on the web at http://docs.hp.com. Do this step only if remote systems have not been previously configured.
HP-UX Installation Network Card Configuration Worksheet Network Card Configuration Worksheet Fill out one worksheet for each network card you are installing. Table 1-1 Data Type Ethernet Card Configuration Worksheet Required/ Optional Default How to Configure (see Note 1) Example Internet Address Required 0.0.0.0 SAM or ifconfig or edit /etc/rc.config.d/ netconf 196.6.20.2 Subnet mask Required if using subnetting Subnet mask not used SAM or ifconfig or edit /etc/rc.config.d/ netconf 255.255.
HP-UX Installation Network Card Configuration Worksheet Note 1: To configure values permanently, edit the configuration files. Using lanadmin will not preserve your settings across reboots. Note 2: The speed configuration of the card can be 10, 100, or 1000Mbps and is determined by the speed setting of the hub or switch port to which the card is connected. The card automatically senses this speed. The Base-T card only runs at one speed at a time. To verify the speed selection, run lanadmin -x ppa#.

2 OpenVMS Installation This chapter contains the following sections that describe how to install the A7011A or A7012A adapters on an OpenVMS system: • “Preparing for Installation” • “Installing the Adapter” Thank you for purchasing HP I/O Cards If you are installing an HP I/O card as an add-in device, please review this document before attempting installation. HP welcomes your input. Please email us at: netinfo_feedback@cup.hp.com with comments or suggestions on HP I/O Cards or related documentation.
OpenVMS Installation Installing the Adapter Check the latest support matrix for systems that support these adapters. The support matrix is available at http://docs.hp.com under “Networking and Communications.” Installing the Adapter This section contains information on installing the A7011A or A7012A adapter in an OpenVMS system.
OpenVMS Installation Installing the Adapter The LAN device characteristics that can be set include speed, duplex mode, flow control, and whether jumbo frames are enabled. The MC LANCP SET DEVICE and LANCP DEFINE DEVICE commands modify these settings. 2. Set the desired characteristics according to the Network Configuration worksheet (see Table 2-1).
