Installing LAN 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 HP-UX LAN Using SAM.”
