Installing Input/Output (I/O) Cards.

This section describes how to install I/O cards into A-Class servers. Abbreviated
embedded PCI I/O card installation instructions also appear on the 11" x 14"
maintenance label adhered to the bottom of the top cover.
A-Class servers provide two slots for I/O cards. The cards which plug into these slots can
be Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), High Speed Connect (HSC) I/O cards or
both (see photo).
The following rules govern the installation of I/O cards:

NOTE When the A3342A HSC Remote Management card is installed, the console path changes
from 8/16/4 to 8/4/0. This may prevent HP-UX from booting.
During selftest, server firmware detects the presence or absence of the A3342A HSC
Remote Management card and will automatically direct server firmware output to the
appropriate path (8/4/0.0 when the A3342A is present, 8/16/4.0 when the A3342A is
absent). These path changes are transparent to the physical console which should be
connected to the server via the connector labeled "Console 8/16/4.0". These path changes
are also transparent to the server firmware 'CONSOLE PATH' value. Server firmware
will not change the 'CONSOLE PATH' value. It is not necessary to manually change the
'CONSOLE PATH' value when installing or removing the A3342A. You may do so if you
chose.

When present, the A3342A HSC Remote Management I/O card must be installed in
the bottom slot.
For one HSC and one PCI card configurations, the HSC card must be installed in the
bottom slot.
For two HSC or two PCI cards, the load order does not matter.
