Step 4. Record the Product Identification

Information

Installing the HP-PCI ATM/622 Adapter

Record the part number and date code of the adapter for future reference. If the adapter needs service in the future, HP service personnel will need the part number and date code. This information is provided on a sticker attached to the adapter. The sticker looks similar to this example:

A5483-60001

USA

 

 

 

A-xxxx

 

 

The number in the upper left corner (A5483-60001 in this example) is the printed circuit assembly part number.

The 5-digit alphanumeric string in the lower right corner (A-xxxxin this example) is the product version and date code.

Step 5. Check the Switch Specifications

Check the following on the ATM switch:

It supports the MMF 622 Mbit/second interface.

It has SC or ST connectors for use with Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF).

It is UNI 3.0, 3.1, or 4.0 compliant.

WARNING Electric shock hazard. Power off the system and disconnect it from the electricity supply before opening the system or accessing the slots. Failure to do this can result in an electrical shock hazard and possible damage to the adapter or system.

For V-Class servers, qualified HP personnel must do the installation. For all other HP 9000 systems, follow the steps in the system documentation.

Be sure to follow antistatic precautions to help prevent static buildup that might cause damage.

Use an antistatic mat (or a static-controlled workstation) and a grounding wrist strap to channel your own static charge safely to ground.

CAUTION Some of the components of the adapter are susceptible to damage by static discharge. Degraded performance, shortened product life, or loss of operation can result from not observing precautions.

Step 6. Ensure That You Have the Necessary

Addresses

Ensure that you have the needed addresses, as follows:

For Classical IP installations, you need the ATM adapter’s IP address and subnet mask.

For installations where the node will run as an ATM ARP client, you need to know the ATM address of the ATM ARP server it will use.

For installations where you intend to use LAN emulation, you need the following information:

An IP address and net mask for each emulated LAN.

The ATM address of the LECS (LAN emulation configuration server).

The selector ID.

Step 7. Ensure That You Have the Correct

Cables

The HP-PCI ATM/622 adapter uses an MMF interface with SC connectors. For connecting to switches with ST connectors, SC-to-ST duplex adapters are necessary. Check that you have the following cables, as applicable:

SC-to-SC cable.

SC-to-ST cable (duplex adapter).

SC loopback connector (for troubleshooting).

LED Colors and Meanings

The HP-PCI ATM/622 adapter has two LEDs: R (receive) and T (transmit). The table below explains their colors and meanings.

LED

Color

Meaning

 

 

 

R

None (“off”)

A receive cable is correctly attached

 

 

to the adapter.

 

 

 

 

Solid amber

The adapter is seated correctly in the

 

 

system, but no receive cable is

 

 

attached to the adapter. NOTE: In a

 

 

back-to-back configuration, a receive

 

 

cable is attached to the adapter, but

 

 

the other system performed an

 

 

atmstop.

 

 

 

 

Flashing

Data is being received.

 

green

 

 

 

 

T

None (“off”)

This LED is “off” both when a

 

 

transmit cable is correctly attached

 

 

to the adapter and when no transmit

 

 

cable is attached.

 

 

 

 

Flashing

Data is being transmitted.
