Installing the A6829A Adapter

This section contains information about installing the A6829A HBA in an HP-UX system (including Online Addition and Replacement [OLAR]).

The installation procedures in this section require opening the computer cabinet, which might expose you to high-energy (high-amperage) circuits and sharp edges in the equipment chassis. Be sure to remove all rings, watches, and other jewelry before opening the cabinet.

The A6829A adapter contains electronic components that can easily be damaged by small amount of static electricity. To avoid damage, follow these guidelines:

•Store the adapter in its antistatic plastic bag until you are ready to install it.

•Work in a static-free area, if possible.

•Handle the adapter by the edges only. Do not touch electronic components or electrical traces.

•If you must lay the adapter down, place it on a non-conductive mat or surface.

•Use the ESD kit that is provided with the adapter. Follow the instructions included with the kit.

•Use a suitable ground—any exposed metal surface on the system chassis.

Before beginning installation, and without removing the adapter from its antistatic bag, inspect the adapter for any signs of obvious damage, such as chipped or loose components. Contact Hewlett-Packard if the adapter is damaged.

Install the A6829A in your HP-UX system according to the documentation for the system.
