Product Description

The A5483A HP-PCI ATM/622 Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) adapter
and ATM link software make up a high-performance solution for
use in the HP 9000 V-Class, N-Class, and L-Class Enterprise
Servers, and the HP VISUALIZE UNIX B1000, C3000, and
J5000 Workstations. It has been designed to best meet
high-speed requirements and a large number of connections per

Before you install the HP-PCI ATM/622 adapter, do the following steps:

Step 1. Check the Hardware and Software Requirements

Ensure that your hardware and software meet the applicable requirements:

✓ Slot requirements. ✓ Number of adapters that can be installed simultaneously.

The HP ATM Release Note contains specific information
about how manyATMadaptersyou can install in each type of
system.

✓ HP-UX operating system version:

• For V22

9905.

• For V2500 servers: HP-UX 11.0 plus Extension Pack

9905.

• For N-Class servers: HP-UX 11.0 plus Extension Pack

9905.

• For L-Class servers: HP-UX 11.0 plus Extension Pack

9905.

• ForB1000, C3000, and J5000 workstations: HP-UX 10.20 ACE or 11.0 plus Extension Pack 9905.

servers: HP-UX 11.0 plus Extension Pack

Step 2. Check for Correct System Documentation

Ensure that you have the appropriate manual for the HP 9000
system you are installing the adapter in. Remember that, as
stated earlier,qualified HP personnel must do the installation for

V-Class servers.

Step 3. Ensure That You Have the Correct Hardware, Software, and Documentation

Ensure that you have the following items: ✓ One HP-PCI ATM/622 adapter (product number A5483A).

CAUTION

✓ One grounding wrist strap. ✓ One HP-UX Applications Software CD containing the ATM

link software.
Note that the ATM software is not locked. So, you do not need

a codeword to unlock and install the software.

✓ The HP ATM Release Note (hardcopy or on the Instant

Information CD).

✓ One ATM Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide

(hardcopy or on the Instant Information CD).

If any of the above items are missing, please contact your HP representative.

NOTE

Keep the HP-PCI ATM/622 adapter in its
protective antistatic bag until installation.
Electronic components can be damaged by even
small amounts of static discharge. So, we highly
recommend that you use antistatic procedures
when handling this or any other computer
component. Handle the adapter by the edges only
and avoid touching all components and metal
parts. Do not store near strong electrostatic,
electromagnetic, or radioactive fields.

When you unpack the adapter and ATM
software, keep all original packing materials for
storing, transporting, or returning the product if
necessary.

See the HP ATM Release Note for any patches you might also need to install.

✓ V-Class system firmware version:

xx

• For Model V22

• For Model V2500: Test Station software version 1.1.

: Test Station software version 5.0.

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 (A­in 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.

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).

WARNING

For V-Class servers, qualified HP personnel must do the
installation. Forall 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

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.

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.

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 green

T None (“off”) This LED is “off” both when a
