To add peripherals to your system, consult the following manuals:

  • The installation manual that came with the peripheral.

  • Configuring HP-UX for Peripherals.

  • The Release Notes for HP-UX 10.0 version B.10.01 for the titles of documents that may be relevant to installing peripherals. Such documents may contain specific information on the software driver and the device special file for communication with particular peripherals.

The easiest way to add peripherals is to run SAM. However, you can also add peripherals using HP-UX commands.

For HP-UX to communicate with a new peripheral device, you may need to reconfigure your system's kernel to add a new driver. If using HP-UX commands, use the /usr/sbin/mk_kernel command (which SAM uses). For details, see mk_kernel(1M) and "Reconfiguring the Kernel" later in this chapter.
