Overview of Installation Steps

Review the recommendations for performance (see “Performance Tuning”).

Ensure that you have all the materials you will need (see “Preparing for Installation”).

Determine what you need to do (if anything) to configure auto termination for the A6829A adapter (see “Auto Termination”).

Change the jumper position (see “Using the Jumper for Controlling Auto Termination”), if needed, and then go to step 4.

If you do not need to change the position of the jumpers, go to step 4.

Install the adapter (see “Installing the A6829A Adapter”).

Attach any external SCSI devices you want to connect to the adapter (see “Connecting External SCSI Peripherals”).

If necessary, set any of the following SCSI parameters:

Before setting the SCSI ID, Maximum data transfer rate, and Bus width parameters through Boot Control Handler (BCH) menus, ensure that the HP-UX system supports setting of these parameters in the BCH menus (see Table 2-2 “Ability to Set SCSI Parameters on HP-UX Systems”).

Install the c8xx SCSI driver from the latest HP-UX bundle or HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) at http://itrc.hp.com.

See “Installing the SCSI Driver”.

If you will be using a disk array in a multi-host environment, be sure you have a LUN 0 configured (see “Configuring LUN 0”).

Verify the installation (see “Verifying Installation”).
