3.Install the adapter in your HP-UX system according to the procedure described in the latest edition of the Interface Card OL* Support Guide for 11i v2 or v3:

For instructions on using OL* on HP-UX 11i v2, see the Interface Card OL* Support Guide: http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html

For instructions on using OL* on HP-UX 11i v3, see the Interface Card OL* Support Guide: http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html

For instructions on opening the system enclosure and working with PCIe cards, see the server documentation at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html

CAUTION: Electronic components can be damaged by small amounts of static electricity. To avoid damage, follow the guidelines in Appendix A (page 23).

4.Replace the access panel or cover, and secure it with the thumbscrews (if any are present).

CAUTION: Do not operate the server with the access panel removed for extended periods of time. The access panel protects thermally sensitive components by ensuring the proper airflow through the server, and also minimizes personal contact with hazardous energy levels.

Connecting the Adapter to Other Devices

The AH303A is compatible with several HP external storage enclosures, including the MSA50, MSA60, and MSA70. For information on supported enclosures, see the SAS Host Bus Adapters Support Matrix at:

For information on connecting an external enclosure, see the documentation for the enclosure.

After you connect a storage enclosure online, use the ioscan command to force the system to recognize the enclosure and disks.
