Installing The Adapters In The Iops - HP NetServer AA 4000 Installation Manual

Installing the Adapters in the IOPs

After Completing Initial Power-On Self
adapters, Ethernet adapters, and SCSI adapters in each IOP.
Warning: Make sure that both you and the computer are properly
Step Action
1 Power off the IOP.
2 Remove the cover of the IOP following
the manufacturer's instructions.
3 Install a MIC adapter in each IOP:
a. Carefully remove the MIC from its
anti-static packaging.
b. Install the MIC into an available PCI
slot.
4 Install the Ethernet adapters if not
already installed.
2-2
Test, install the Marathon Interface Card (MIC)
grounded, using, for instance, a wrist strap with an attached
alligator clip that is connected to an appropriate ground.
Notes
The MIC has no onboard jumpers or switches.
We recommend that MICs installed on IOPs be
installed in the same slot. For example, install
the MICs in slot 1 on both IOP1 and IOP2.
We recommend that MICs do not share IRQs
with other PCI devices, and whenever possible,
you should install MICs in a primary PCI bus.
We recommend that MICs and network cards
not be plugged in the same PCI bus as a SCSI
RAID controller.
Each IOP must have at least two, and may
have up to five, Ethernet adapters to support:
• An Ethernet PCI adapter for the IL
connection.
• An Ethernet adapter to provide connectivity
to your network.
These adapters must meet the requirements
described in Ethernet Adapters
Ethernet adapter teaming and fault tolerance
(AFT) are not supported.
Make sure that you follow any installation
requirements imposed by the manufacturer. For
example, some adapter drivers must have a
unique IRQ.
