2. If the SPEED parameter exists, and if its value (lowercase or uppercase) is

100FD or 100HD, 10FD or 10HD, or auto_on; copy the value into the

HP_BTLAN_SPEED parameter.

However, if the SPEED parameter does not exist, and the DUPLEX parameter has

been set and its value (lowercase or uppercase) is FULL or HALF, copy the

value to HP_BTLAN_SPEED parameter.

If neither the SPEED nor DUPLEX parameter values have not been set do not put

any value for the HP_BTLAN_SPEED parameter.

5. If it exists, copy the hpbtlanconf conﬁguration ﬁle

/etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf to

/etc/rc.config.d/hplanconf.obsolete.

HSC and PCI 1000Base-SX/T (Gigabit Ethernet)

New with the December 2000 HP-UX 11i release is a PCI 1000Base-T card which allows

HP 9000’s to connect to IEEE 802.3ab standard networks over Cat 5 or Cat 5E UTP

copper cable. The card supports HP Auto Port Aggregation, MC/ServiceGuard, and LAN

Monitor. The card operates at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s and supports auto-negotiation and

auto-sensing. There is no 1000Base-T card for HSC backplanes.

The HSC and PCI 1000Base-SX/9000 products provide the means for interfacing various

types of HP 9000 computers to a 1000Base-SX multimode ﬁber network.

It is recommended that your system have at least 128 megabytes of memory when using

this product.

The PCI Gigabit Ethernet cards are for use on:

• V2200, V2250, V2500, V2600, L1000, L2000, A180, and N4000 servers running the

HP-UX 11i operating system, and

• B-, C-, and J-Class workstations running the HP-UX 10.20, 11.0, and HP-UX 11i

operating systems.
