Looking at Adapter Installation

NOTE The host bus adapter card is supported on the HP N4000 N-class system.

Refer to the Hewlett-Packard eproducts web site

(http://www.eproducts.hp.com) to disassemble the system, install the

adapter in an available PCI slot, and reassemble the system.

Installation can be performed in one of two ways:

• Use the OLAR (On Line Add/Replace) capability (HP-UX 11i)

• Power down the system and then add or replace the HBA

The method you choose will depend on your situation and requirements.

Install Using OLAR (HP-UX 11i)

The letters O, L, A and R stand for On Line Addition [and] Replacement.

This refers to the ability of a PCI I/O card to be installed (replaced or

added) in an HP-UX computer system designed to support this feature

without the need for completely shutting down, then re-booting the

system or adversely affecting other system components. The system

hardware uses the per-slot power control combined with operating

system support in HP-UX 11i to enable this feature.

IMPORTANT Certain “Classes” of hardware are not intended for access by users. At

this time this includes V-Class and SuperDome systems. HP

recommends that these systems only be opened by a qualiﬁed HP

Engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can invalidate any support

agreement or warranty to which the owner might otherwise be entitled.

Important Terms and Concepts

The addition or replacement of an OLAR-compatible card may be done in

either one of two ways:

1. Using the SAM utility.
