Installing the A6828A Adapter
This section contains information on installing the A6828A HBA in an
HP-UX system (including Online Addition and Replacement [OLAR]).
WARNING The installation procedures in this section require opening the
computer cabinet, which might expose you to high-energy
(high-amperage) circuits and sharp edges in the equipment
chassis. Ensure to remove all rings, watches, and other jewelry
before opening the cabinet.
CAUTION The A6828A adapter contains electronic components that can easily be
damaged by small amount of static electricity. To avoid damage, follow
these guidelines:
• Store the adapter in its antistatic plastic bag until you are ready to
install it.
• Work in a static-free area, if possible.
• Handle the adapter by the edges only. Do not touch electronic
components or electrical traces.
• If you must lay the adapter down, place it on a non-conductive mat or
surface.
• Use the ESD kit that is provided with the adapter. Follow the
instructions included with the kit.
• Use a suitable ground—any exposed metal surface on the system
chassis.
Before beginning the installation, and without removing the adapter
from its antistatic bag, inspect the adapter for any signs of obvious
damage, such as chipped or loose components. Contact Hewlett-Packard
if the adapter is damaged.
Install the A6828A HBA in your HP-UX system according to the
documentation for the system.
