Prior to loading the HSC FDDI product onto your system, check that you have met the following hardware and software prerequisites:

  1. Check that the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /sbin directories are in your PATH using the command: echo $PATH.

  2. The operating system has been upgraded to the required version. Refer to the product release notes.

    To obtain this information, use the uname -a command.

  3. You have a fiber cable terminated with an SC connector to connect your FDDI adapter to your concentrator.

  4. You have an IP address, subnet mask (if the adapter will be on a subnetwork), and host name alias for your new FDDI adapter.

  5. You have super-user privileges.

    NOTE: Prior to the installation of HP HSC FDDI/9000, FDDI fiber optic cabling must be installed by a non-HP third party cabling vendor, and all networking appliances must be correctly attached and configured including concentrators.
