Installing the Adapter
This section contains information on installing the A6828A or A6829A
adapter in an HP-UX system. In addition, it includes information on
Online Addition and Replacement (OLAR).
WARNING The installation procedures in this section require opening the
computer cabinet, which might expose you to high-energy
(high-amperage) circuits and sharp edges in the equipment
chassis. Ensure to remove all rings, watches, and other jewelry
before opening the cabinet.
CAUTION The adapter contains electronic components that can easily be damaged
by small amount of static electricity. To avoid damage, use the following
guidelines:
• Store the adapter in its antistatic plastic bag until you are ready to
install it.
• Work in a static-free area, if possible.
• Handle the adapter by the edges only. Do not touch electronic
components or electrical traces.
• If you must lay the adapter down, place it on a non-conductive mat or
surface.
• Use the ESD kit that is provided with the adapter. Follow the
instructions included with the kit.
• Use a suitable ground—any exposed metal surface on the system
chassis.
Before beginning the installation, and without removing the adapter
from its antistatic bag, inspect the adapter for any sign of obvious
damage, such as chipped or loose components. Contact Hewlett-Packard
if the adapter is damaged.
