personnel will need the part number and date code. This
information is provided on a sticker attached to the adapter. The
sticker looks similar to this example:
A5513-60001
The number in the upper left corner (A5513-60001 in this
example) is the printed circuit assembly part number.
The 5-digit alphanumeric string in the lower right corner (A- xxxx
in this example) is the product version and date code.
Step 5. Check the Switch Specifications
Check the following on the ATM switch:
It supports the appropriate interface for your HP-PCI
ATM/155 adapter: MMF 155 Mbits/second or UTP Cat5 155
Mbits/second.
It has SC or ST connectors if you are using the HP-PCI
ATM/155 MMF adapter.
It is UNI 3.0, 3.1, or 4.0 compliant.
Step 6. Ensure That You Have the Necessary
Addresses
Ensure that you have the needed addresses, as follows:
For Classical IP installations, you need the ATM adapter's IP
address and subnet mask.
For installations where the node will run as an ATM ARP
client, you need to know the ATM address of the ATM ARP
server it will use.
For installations where you intend to use LAN emulation, you
need the following information:
•
An IP address and net mask for each emulated LAN.
•
The ATM address of the LECS (LAN emulation
configuration server).
•
The selector ID.
Step 7. Ensure That You Have the Correct
Cables
Be sure you have the correct type of cable for the HP-PCI
ATM/155 adapter you are using:
MMF: The adapter has SC connectors. For connecting to ATM
switches with ST connectors, SC-to-ST duplex adapters are
needed. Check that you have the following cables, as
applicable:
•
SC-to-SC cable.
•
SC-to-ST cable (duplex adapter).
•
SC loopback connector (for troubleshooting).
UTP Cat5: Use direct cables to connect to ATM switches. In a
back-to-back configuration, use a crossover cable to connect

two adapters.
Installing the HP-PCI ATM/155 Adapter
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Power off the system
and disconnect it from the electricity supply
before opening the system or accessing the
slots. Failure to do this can result in an
electrical shock hazard and possible damage
to the adapter or system.
For V-Class servers, qualified HP personnel must do the
installation. For all other HP 9000 systems, follow the steps in the
system documentation.
Be sure to follow antistatic precautions to help prevent static
buildup that might cause damage.
Use an antistatic mat (or a static-controlled workstation) and a
grounding wrist strap to channel your own static charge safely to
ground.
CAUTION
Some of the components of the adapter are
susceptible to damage by static discharge.
Degraded performance, shortened product life, or
loss of operation can result from not observing
precautions.
LED Colors and Meanings
The HP-PCI ATM/155 adapter has two LEDs: R (receive) and T
(transmit). The table below explains their colors and meanings.
LED
Color
None ("off")
A receive cable is correctly attached
R
to the adapter.
Solid amber
The adapter is seated correctly in the
system, but no receive cable is
attached to the adapter. NOTE: In a
back-to-back configuration, a receive
cable is attached to the adapter, but
the other system performed an
atmstop.
Flashing
Data is being received.
green
None ("off")
This LED is "off" both when a
T
transmit cable is correctly attached
to the adapter and when no transmit
cable is attached.
Flashing
Data is being transmitted.
