AB287A PCI-X 10 Gigabit Ethernet Card Overview

Product Overview

• The December 2006 web release of the HP-UX 11i v2-based version of 10 Gigabit Ethernet supports PCI-X Error

Handling when the prerequisite PCIErrorHandling-00 bundle is also installed on the system. The PCI-X Error Handling

feature provides a system with improved fault-tolerance. PCI-X Error Handling allows an HP-UX system to avoid a

Machine Check Abort (MCA) or a High Priority Machine Check (HPMC), if a PCI-X error occurs (for example, a parity

error). For details, see the PCI Error Handling Product Note: HP-UX Servers and Workstations.

• Supports PCI-X online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on supported systems. For instructions on how to perform online

addition and replacement (OLAR) for PA-RISC-based systems running versions of HP-UX 11i v1 of September 2005, see

Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals. For instructions on performing OL* for PA-RISC systems running HP-UX 11i v2

of September 2004 or later, refer to the Interface Card OL* Support Guide.

• Supports 64-bit management information base (MIB) statistics. Directs the data link service (DLS) provider to return

64 bit statistics.

• Supports subnetwork-access protocol (SNAP) network-layer protocol encapsulation. The following table summarizes the

allowable combinations of capabilities.
