Release Notes for PCI-X 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Cards
What’s in this Version
4
— rp4440, rp3440.
• Supports the following Itanium2 systems:
— Superdome (or Superdome with IO Expansion (IOX) cabinet). Includes new 64-way.
— rx8620 (base system or base system and I/O Expansion (IOX) cabinet).
— rx7620.
— rx5600.
— rx2600.
• Supports Ignite-UX.
• On the A7011A, the 1000Base-SX port operates only at 1000 Mbit/s and only in
full-duplex mode. It autonegotiates flow control but not speed or duplexity.
Ensure that the 1000 Mbit/s port on the interfacing switch is set for autonegotiation or
1000Mbit/s full-duplex mode.
• On the A7012A, the 1000Base-T port operates at 10 or 100 Mbit/s in either full- or
half-duplex modes and at 1000 Mbit/s only in full-duplex mode.
Ensure that you set both your switch and the gigabit Ethernet port on the card to
autonegotiation or set both to the same speed and duplex mode
• The Gigabit Ethernet cards support use of Jumbo Frames. The maximum transmission
unit (MTU) for using jumbo frames with the iether driver on HP-UX 11i v 1.0 or v 2.0 is
in the range of 1501 to 9000 bytes.
• The Gigabit Ethernet LAN software supports TCP/IP, NFS, and DLPI applications.
Ethernet and SNAP encapsulations are supported.
• Support interrupt migration.
• Support HP ServiceGuard.
• Support vPars.
• Support virtual LANs (VLANs).
• Support PCI-X/PCI online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on supported systems.
• The 1000Base-SX A7011A has two duplex LC connectors and two LEDs--one LED for each
port. Each LED flashes to indicate Activity (data traffic) and is solid to indicate the link is
up.
• The 1000Base-T A7012A has two RJ-45 ports. Each port has an activity/link LED and a
speed LED that is off for 10 Mbit/s, green for 100 Mbit/s, or yellow for 1000 Mbit/s.
