Preparing Your Workstation

You must prepare your workstation before you install new upgrades or remove old
components. Here is the procedure for doing this:
1. Determine if you have the correct version of the operating system. Note that your workstation must
be running the HP-UX 11.0 operating system and the Workstation Additional Core Enchancements
(ACE) for HP-UX 11.0 (November 1999) or HP-UX 11i operating system and the Hardware
Enablement Bundle (HWE) for HP-UX 11i (June 2001) to accommodate the PA8700 upgrade. Use
the command uname -r to determine the version of your operating system. For example, it should
report B.11.00. if you are running an HP-UX 11.0 operating system. If the workstation is running
an older version of HP-UX, update the operating system software before continuing. Use the
command:
/usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle
to view what software products are loaded in your system. If the bundle list includes
B6261AA, HP-UX 11.0 with ACE (Nov., 1999), or HWEnable11i, HP-UX 11i with HWE
(June, 2001), you do not need to update HP-UX.
2. Determine the workstation's LAN ID by entering the following command: /usr/sbin/lanscan
The output is similar to the following:
Hardware Station
Path
Address
2.0.2
0x08000970ECC0
Record the LAN ID here. You will need it after installing the new system board:
Enter LAN ID:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ -___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
You must supply the dash (-) between the first six digits and the last six digits
After you install the new CPU board and power on the system for the first time, you may be prompted
for the LAN ID.
