Features
The AB465A PCI-X Combination cards have the following features:
• PCI-X 133 MHz capable card. It can operate at 32-bit or 64-bit compatible modes and is supported in the
following frequencies: PCI 66, PCI-X 66, and PCI-X 133. Best performance is achieved by putting the card
in a “dual-rope” PCI-X 133 slot. To identify which slots are the dual rope slots in a particular system,
please refer to the hardware users’ guide for each system. The AB465A card is not supported in PCI 33
bus mode. It operates in 3.3V slots only.
• Supports HP-UX 11i v 2.0 (64 bit) of September 2004 (or later) or 11i v 1.0 of December 2004 (or
later) on HP 9000 (PA-RISC-based) and HP Integrity (Itanium or Itanium2-based) platforms.
• The Gigabit Ethernet ports support use of Jumbo Frames.
• Supports HP Serviceguard and Auto-Port Aggregation (APA) for high availability.
• The Gigabit Ethernet port supports virtual LANs (VLANs). This feature is described in Using HP-UX
VLANs on http://docs.hp.com.
• Supports PCI-X online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on specified systems.For instructions on how to
perform online addition and replacement (OLAR) for PA-RISC-based systems running HP-UX 11i v 1.0,
see Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals. For instructions on performing OL* for Itanium-based systems
and PA-RISC systems running HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 or later, refer to the Interface Card
OL* Support Guide.
• Supports configuration through SAM or command line.
• vPars support with vPars 3.02 on supported HP 9000 (PA-RISC-based) systems. Boot over vPars is
supported only on the Fibre Channel ports.
• Supports 16k LUNs on the Fibre Channel ports.
• Supports boot/dump on Fibre Channel ports only.
• Online/Offline Diagnostics.
• Ignite UX support.
• Supports readout of Vital Product Data (VPD) for Fibre Channel. To read the Fibre Channel VPD, use:
fcmsutil
devicefilename
vpd.
• Firmware for the Fibre Channel ports -- version is 3.3.150 as of the publication of this document. The FC
EFI driver firmware version is 1.42. For GigE, the bootcode is version 3.27; EFI is v7.0.10 or later. To
check for updates of these, see the section “For Further Information” in this document.
• Fibre channel transfer rates of 2Gbit/s and 1Gbit/s
• Auto speed sensing on the Fibre Channel ports.
• Supports Fibre Channel protocols SCSI-FCP-2 and FC-Tape.
• Supports the following Fibre Channel topologies:
— FC-SW
— FC-AL-2
— FC-FLA
— FC-PLDA
