Installing LAN/9000

Step 3: Installing The Hardware

Follow the steps below to prepare the system for installation of your

network interface hardware.

1. At the HP-UX prompt, execute the command:

shutdown -h

Wait for the system to respond with a message indicating that the

system has been halted.

2. Observe antistatic precautions by following the guidelines as

described in the installation instructions in the hardware manual or

the Antistatic Precautions Note.

3. Install your network interface card by referring to your hardware

installation and service manual.

CAUTION HP recommends not rearranging any network interface cards installed

in your system. If you move any existing network interface card in the

system, you may need to reconﬁgure the IP address. See “Reconﬁguring

IP Addresses” section in the next chapter.

4. Power up the system to complete the process. The network interface

card will run a self-test automatically. Any error messages will

appear on the terminal display or system console.

5. Proceed to chapter 2, “Conﬁguring LAN/9000 Using SAM.”
