PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation 1 There are two options available for connecting the PCI-based HP e3000 system to a 10/100Base-T LAN: the RJ-45 LAN connection port on the Core I/O card (included with the base system hardware), or the PCI 10/100Base-TX add-on adapter card (A5230A) for the HP e3000. Both cards support 10Mbits/s and 100Mbits/s Fast Ethernet operation as well as full and half-duplex modes.
PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation 2. Prepare system for hardware installation and access the system card bay: • Login with appropriate system management capabilities and prepare system for shutdown (e.g., terminate any active jobs or sessions, etc.) • Issue a shutdown. Make sure the system is halted before continuing. • When the system has shutdown completely, power off the system by pressing the system off button. Unplug the system.
PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation • Using “NS Guided Configuration”, configure or update the LAN Configuration. Change an existing, or add a new type LAN Network Interface (NI) so that the NI has a link type of BT100. Enter the Physical path of the LANIC so that it references the path of the newly installed 10/100Base-T card, or the Core I/O card LAN port. NOTE The Core I/O card will usually have a path of 0/0/0/0; the path should be printed on the bulkhead near the RJ-45 port.
PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation Notes on Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Notes on Manual Speed and Duplex Mode Configuration Ensure that the speed, duplex mode, and autonegotiation of the associated switch are configured the same as in the NMMGR configuration for the PCI 10/100Base-TX card. If the switch supports autonegotiation on the ports connected to the cards, this should be enabled as explained in “Notes on Autonegotiation and Autosensing.
PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation Notes on Autonegotiation and Autosensing Notes on Autonegotiation and Autosensing The PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 product provides the means for interfacing various types of HP e3000 systems to either a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network. 100Base-TX is a subset of 100Base-T networking defined by the IEEE 802.3u-1995 standard.
PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 Quick Installation Notes on Autonegotiation and Autosensing If the PCI 10/100Base-TX/3000 card or the Core I/O card LAN port is connected to a device that does not support autonegotiation or a device that has autonegotiation disabled, the PCI card will autosense the speed of the link and set itself accordingly. The duplex mode of the card may be set to half-duplex in this case.
