Follow the steps below to prepare the system for installation of your network interface hardware.

  1. At the HP-UX prompt, execute the command:

    shutdown -h

    Wait for the system to respond with a message indicating that the system has been halted.

  2. Observe antistatic precautions by following the guidelines as described in the installation instructions in the hardware manual or the Antistatic Precautions Note.

  3. Install your network interface card by referring to your hardware installation and service manual.

    CAUTION: HP recommends not rearranging any network interface cards installed in your system. If you move any existing network interface card in the system, you may need to reconfigure the IP address. See “Reconfiguring IP Addresses” section in the next chapter.
  4. Power up the system to complete the process. The network interface card will run a self-test automatically. Any error messages will appear on the terminal display or system console.

  5. Proceed to chapter 2, “Configuring HP-UX LAN Using SAM.”
