Installing the A5150A Adapter

SCSI Bus Termination

Step 1. Check the PDC version, by booting the system to the BCH prompt and then doing the following:

a.At the Main Menu, type in (for Information Menu).

b.At the Information Menu, type fv (to display the firmware version). The output could look like this:

FIRMWARE INFORMATION

Firmware Version:

39.41

Table 2-3,earlier in this document, shows the required PDC versions for using auto termination on each HP 9000 system. If you do not have a correct PDC version on your system, contact your HP support representative.

Step 2. Determine the HBA’s path by doing the following:

a.If already at the Main Menu, type in (for Information Menu); go to step b.

If not already at the Main Menu, type main (to return to the Main Menu), type in (for Information Menu), then go to step b.

b.At the Information Menu, type io (to display I/O interface information). The output could look like this:

In this example, the HBA’s path is 0/2/0/0 (shown in bold, for emphasis, in the listing above).

Step 3. Change the HBA’s auto termination state by doing the following:

a. If already at the Main Menu, type ser (for Service Menu); go to stepb.

If not already at the Main Menu, type main (to return to the Main Menu), type ser (for Service Menu), then go to step b.
