Installing LAN/9000

Overview

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Step 1: Checking LAN Installation Prerequisites.

• Step 2: Loading LAN Software.

• Step 3: Installing LAN Hardware.

NOTE If you have a system with LAN/9000 preinstalled on it, you may skip

this chapter and go directly to chapter 2. Execute the command lanscan

to determine if the LAN/9000 software and hardware have been

pre-installed.

If, in addition, you have a preconﬁgured system, you may also skip

chapter 2, “Conﬁguring LAN Using SAM.”

If you are unfamiliar with HP LAN products or networking concepts, HP

recommends that you read the Networking Overview, and Chapter 6 ,

“Network Addressing,” and Chapter 7 , “LAN Device and Interface

Terminology,” of this manual before beginning LAN/9000 installation.
