HP FDDI/9000 is supported on Series 800 Model F, G, I, and K systems. For more detailed information and illustrations, see the appropriate owner's guides for each of the models.

  1. Shut down the system:

    /usr/sbin/shutdown -h

  2. Wait until the system responds with "OK to press reset" or "Halted, you may now cycle power", then power off the workstation.

  3. HP FDDI/9000 contains electronic components that can easily be damaged by small amounts of static electricity. To avoid damage, follow these guidelines:

    • Store adapters in their conductive plastic bag until you are ready to install them.

    • If possible, work in a static-free area.

    • Handle the adapter only by the edges. Do not touch electronic components or electrical traces.

    • Use the disposable grounding wrist strap provided with this product (HP 9300-1408). Follow the instructions provided with the strap.

    • A suitable electrical ground is any exposed metal surface on the computer chassis.

  4. Remove the workstation cover according to the instructions in workstation's owner's guide, then go to the next section, "Installing the FDDI Hardware."
