Installing An A5485A Hsc Speedcard - HP -UX 10.20 Getting Started Manual

Installing an A5485A HSC SpeedCard

Please refer to the user documentation provided with your computer for
details about how to open the cabinet and access the various areas
within.
Step 1. Exit all running programs and shut down the system by using this
command:
/etc/shutdown -h
Step 2. Wait until the system responds with "OK to press reset" or "Halted, you
may now cycle power," and then power off the system.
Step 3. Turn off the power to the HP 9000 system.
Step 4. Remove the screws that attach the top panel(s). You may find it helpful
to move the system away from other hardware for easier access to the
internals of the system.
Step 5. Attach the grounding strap to your wrist or ankle.
Step 6. If necessary, remove the cover plate(s) from the opening(s) for the slots
you will use. Keep the screw for later use.
Step 7. Remove the HP Praesidium SpeedCard from its antistatic plastic bag.
Step 8. Find an empty slot and align the connector on the SpeedCard with the
connector in the slot, being sure that the card slides down the slot guides
on each side.
Step 9. Press the card firmly into place, making sure that the connector is fully
inserted. Note that the LED on the card's bulkhead is not visible from
the outside of an R-Class system as it is on other types of systems. To
view the card's indicator LED, you must remove the top panel(s) of the
system.
Step 10. Make sure the screw hole in the card's bulkhead lines up with the hole in
the chassis assembly. Use the screw you saved earlier to attach the card's
bulkhead to the chassis.
Step 11. Repeat the above process if you have additional cards to install.
Step 12. Power on the system.
Step 13. Continue with the section titled, "Loading the software driver and tools"
at the end of this chapter.
