Preparing for Installation
Installing the A6829A adapter requires disassembly of some system
components. Before beginning the installation, see the HP-UX system’s
manual for detailed instructions about installing host bus adapters in
the PCI slots.
To install the HBA, you need the following:
✓ One HP A6829A SCSI HBA.
✓ One grounding (ESD) kit (shipped with the A6829A).
✓ Any other tools needed for installing components in the HP-UX
system (for example, screwdrivers); see the system’s documentation.
NOTE The maximum number of SCSI HBAs you can install in any HP-UX
system is equal to the maximum number of corresponding card slots in
the system. For example, if a system has four PCI card slots, you can
install four SCSI PCI HBAs in that system, assuming that all the PCI
card slots are empty.
Check the latest SCSI support matrix for systems that support the
A6829A adapter. The support matrix is available at http://docs.hp.com
under the Networking and Communications section.
