HP-UX 11i Version 1 Installation and Update Guide, June 2003

Configuring Built-In PCI Networking
PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000
Appendix D200
• The PCI 100Base-FX (fiber) card operates only at 100Mbits/s
half-duplex mode. The fiber card does not support autonegotiation or
autosensing.
• Only the PCI 100Base-TX card supports both full and half-duplex
modes. If your hub or switch does not support autonegotiation,
ensure that your hub or switch is set to the desired duplex mode.
• The PCI 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX/9000 LAN software is for
use with only the following protocols: TCP/IP, ARPA, and NFS.
• When using the ioscan -f command to verify installation, the last
digit of the H/W Path (hardware path) will show the port number of
the card. The other fields of the output will show the driver as btlan,
and the Hardware Type Description will show the product number of
each link card.
• The built-in PCI card for workstations has a nettl subsys_id of 173.
The built-in workstation card also uses a dynamic major number.
• On the built-in PCI card for workstations, the RJ-45 connector
operates at either 10 or 100 Mbits/s, but the AUI connector operates
only at 10 Mbits/s.
Configuring Network Connectivity
These instructions apply to the PCI 10/100Base-TX and
100Base-FX/9000 cards for the HP V-Class server and the PCI
10/100Base-TX card for HP Workstations. They assume that the PCI
network card has been factory installed and the software already loaded
on your disk. The PCI 10/100Base-TX card operates at both 10Mbits/s
and 100Mbits/s. The Base-TX card supports autonegotiation and
autosensing. The PCI 100Base-FX card operates only at 100Mbits/s,
half-duplex mode only, and the fiber card does not support
autonegotiation or autosensing.
Step 1. Attach the system to the network:
a. Ensure that the system is shut down completely and the power is
OFF. Ensure that the system is grounded.
b. If your Base-TX network uses 8-pin RJ-45 connectors, attach the
RJ-45 plug on your twisted-pair LAN cable into the RJ-45 connector
on the PCI 10/100Base-TX card. The same RJ-45 connector is used
for either 10 or 100 Mbits/s operation.
