Installing the A5150A Adapter
Looking at Adapter Installation
Chapter 220
NOTE The host bus adapter card is supported on the HP N4000 N-class system.
Refer to the Hewlett-Packard eproducts web site
(http://www.eproducts.hp.com) to disassemble the system, install the
adapter in an available PCI slot, and reassemble the system.
Install Using OLAR (HP-UX 11i)
The letters O, L, A and R stand for On Line Addition [and] Replacement.
This refers to the ability of a PCI I/O card to be installed (replaced or
added) in an HP-UX computer system designed to support this feature
without the need for completely shutting down, then re-booting the
system or adversely affecting other system components. The system
hardware uses the per-slot power control combined with operating
system support in HP-UX 11i to enable this feature.
IMPORTANT Certain “Classes” of hardware are not intended for access by users. At
this time this includes V-Class and SuperDome systems. HP
recommends that these systems only be opened by a qualified HP
Engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can invalidate any support
agreement or warranty to which the owner might otherwise be entitled.
Important Terms and Concepts
The addition or replacement of an OLAR-compatible card may be done in
either one of two ways:
1. Using the SAM utility.
2. Issuing command-line commands using rad.
For detailed information about the use of either of these two procedures,
please refer to the following document:
