The 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet card is supported in the HP Integrity (Itanium® or Itanium®2-based) systems specified in Table 1-3 “4-Port GigE Card in HP Integrity Systems”. Updated information similar to this such as which Ethernet driver is used with each network card can be found in the Ethernet Support Matrix on http://docs.hp.com.

Unsupported Systems

The 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet AB545A is not supported on rx5670, rp7410, rp8400, or on HP9000 Superdomes that have 8600 or 8700 (650Mhz, 750Mhz) processors.

Unsupported Shared Slot Usage with 33 MHz Cards

The AB545A 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet card is not supported in the shared slots of systems where the card in the neighboring shared slot is a 33 MHz only card. The 33 MHz only cards are specified in Table 1-5 “AB545A Cannot be in Neighboring Shared Slots with These 33 MHz Cards”.

As of the date of publication of this document (March 2005), the 3 systems listed in Table 1-5 “AB545A Cannot be in Neighboring Shared Slots with These 33 MHz Cards” are the main ones where the AB545A card should not be placed in the neighboring shared slot with the cards listed. The restriction applies to all systems with shared slots even if the system isn’t shown in Table 1-5 “AB545A Cannot be in Neighboring Shared Slots with These 33 MHz Cards”.
