Configuring Network Connectivity
These instructions apply to the PCI 10/100Base-TX and
100Base-FX/9000 cards for the HP 9000 V-Class server and the PCI
10/100Base-TX card for HP 9000 Workstations. They assume that the
PCI network card has been factory installed and the software already
loaded on your disk. The PCI 10/100Base-TX card operates at both
10Mbits/s and 100Mbits/s. The Base-TX card supports autonegotiation
and autosensing. The PCI 100Base-FX card operates only at 100Mbits/s,
in either full or half-duplex mode, but the fiber card does not support
autonegotiation.
1. Attach the system to the network:
a. Ensure that the HP 9000 is shut down completely and the power
is OFF. Ensure that the system is grounded.
b. If your Base-TX network uses 8-pin RJ-45 connectors, attach the
RJ-45 plug on your twisted-pair LAN cable into the RJ-45
connector on the PCI 10/100Base-TX card. The same RJ-45
connector is used for either 10 or 100 Mbits/s operation.
If your network uses BNC connections, attach the LAN cable to
the 10 Mbits/s BNC connector.
If your network uses Attachment Unit Interfaces (AUIs), attach
your 10 Mbits/s Media Access Unit (MAU) to the AUI connector.
Only use one of the three connectors at a time; disconnect the
other two connectors on the card.
