Hardware and Software Installation Procedure
These instructions apply to AB290A PCI-X 2-Port U320 SCSI and 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet combination
cards. For pre-requisite information such as system firmware requirements or card firmware requirements,
please see the AB290A Combination Card Support Matrix on the web at http://docs.hp.com under “I/O
Cards and Networking Software” and then under “Combination Cards.”
If your combination card was factory installed (ordered on product option 0D1), the two software bundles
required for this card --IEther-00 (for LAN) and scsiU320-00 (for SCSI) are already loaded onto your
system’s hard drive.

Adding in the card: HP-UX 11i v 1.0
If your system is HP-UX 11i v 1.0 based, you need to get the two driver bundles from the December 2004
version of HP-UX 11i v 1.0. You do not necessarily have to load the entire OE if you don’t want to. To add the
product for 11i v 1.0:
• You can either load the entire HP-UX 11i v 1.0 December 2004 OE from the distribution media and you
will automatically get the correct LAN and SCSI driver bundles.
or
• You can just select and load the two driver bundles IEther-00 and scsiU320-00 required for this card.
Adding in the card: HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 or later
• In order to use the AB290A combination cards with HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004, your system
needs to be on that OE.
• So, if your system does not have 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 (or later), you need to load the entire HP-UX
11i v 2.0 September 2004 (or later) OE from the distribution media, and you will automatically get the
correct LAN and SCSI driver bundles.
These AB290A combination cards can be added to your system or replaced without the need to shut down or
reboot the system--a process called online addition and replacement (OLAR). The following instructions
assume you are not performing online addition and replacement.
Step 1: Access the system card bay
• If the system is running, first, issue the sync command. Then, shut down the system by executing:
shutdown -h. Respond “y” to the continue to shutdown prompt.
• Wait for the system to shut down completely, and then power off the system by pressing the system off
button. Ensure that the system is grounded.
• Open the system to gain access to the PCI backplane.
• Select an empty PCI or PCI-X slot and remove the slot cover. The card can operate in PCI as well as PCI-X
mode. Some servers have “shared” slots. If you put this card in a shared slot that is shared with a slower
card, both cards will then operate at the slower card’s speed.
1. If your combination card was factory installed (ordered on product option 0D1), you do not need to
perform the hardware and software installation steps,. You still need to configure the card’s IP
address and possibly set other parameters and options such as those mentioned in Table 2 on
page 12 The Network Configuration worksheet.
