These instructions apply to AB545A PCI-X 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet cards.

If your LAN card was factory installed (ordered on product option 0D1), the software bundle required for this card -- IEther-00 is already loaded onto your system’s hard drive.[1]

Adding in the card: HP-UX 11i v 1.0

If your system is HP-UX 11i v 1.0 based, you can get the software bundle from the December 2004 (or later) version of HP-UX 11i v 1.0 on the OE and/or Application Software media. You do not necessarily have to load the entire operating environment (OE) if you don’t want to. To add the product for 11i v 1.0:

  • You can either load the entire HP-UX 11i v 1.0 December 2004 OE from the distribution media and you will automatically get the correct LAN software bundle.

    or

  • You can just select and load the software bundle IEther-00 required for this card.

Adding in the card: HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 (or later)

  • In order to use the AB545A 4-port cards with HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 (or later), your system needs to be on that OE.

  • So, if your system does not have 11i v 2.0 of September 2004, you need to load the entire HP-UX 11i v 2.0 September 2004 (or later) OE from the distribution media, and you will automatically get the correct LAN driver bundle.

These AB545A cards can be added to specified systems or replaced without the need to shut down or reboot the system--a process called online addition and replacement (OLAR). If performing OLAR, patches are required -- see “Product Overview”. The following instructions assume you are not performing online addition and replacement.



[1] If your LAN card was factory installed (ordered on product option 0D1), you do not need to perform the hardware and software installation steps,. You still need to configure the card’s IP address and possibly set other parameters and options such as those mentioned in Table 1-2 “Network Card Configuration Worksheet” The Network Card Configuration worksheet.
