Chapter 1
Overview1-
This chapter provides an overview of the U522 PCI card and peripheral component
interconnect (PCI) cards in general. This chapter includes:
• Locating the PCI Cards
• Handling PCI Cards
• Cabling Specifications
• Hardware Requirements
• Software Requirements
Overview
1-1
U522 4-Port Ethernet PCI Card
U522 4-Port Ethernet PCI Card
The U522 PCI card is a high-performance 4-Port Ethernet adapter that enables you to
connect a DNCP Series 400/400-CO system to a local area network (LAN). The U522
PCI card is based on a 32-bit bus architecture that optimizes data flow between the
system and the network, resulting in the highest possible throughput with low CPU
utilization.
The U522 PCI card provides both 10 megabits-per-second (Mbps) Regular Ethernet
and100-Mbps Fast Ethernetcommunication. The cardautomatically senses the speed
of the port to which it is attached, and configures itself accordingly.
Each DNCP Series 400/400-CO system can support up to four U522 PCI cards (16
LAN ports). These cards can be paired, using the Redundant Network Interface (RNI),
to provide backup fail-over protection. Figure 1-1 shows the U522 PCI card.

Locating the PCI Cards
The PCI cards in a DNCP Series 400/400-CO system are installed in one of two PCI
card cages, located at the rear of the cabinet (Figure 1-2).

Handling PCI Cards
PCI cards are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To avoid damaging a PCI
card during handling, take the following precautions.
CAUTION
Do not walk around carrying a PCI card that is not in its
static-protective envelope, as it can damage the card.
• Always store the PCI card in its static-protective envelope if it is not installed
in the system.
• Always hold a PCI card by its edges.
• Always ground yourself before handling a PCI card. To ground yourself, touch
the inside of the PCI card cage to discharge any static electricity, or wear a
grounding strap. If you have a grounding strap, attach one end to the rear of
the system, and place the other around your wrist (Figure 1-4).

Cabling Specifications
The U522 PCI card uses unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Category 5 Data Grade cable
with an RJ-45 connector. The maximum length of the cable from the U522 PCI card to
the concentrator or switch cannot exceed 100 meters.
Figure 1-5 shows the UTP cable with the RJ-45 connector.

Hardware Requirements
Depending on how the card will be used, one or more of the following must be installed
or available at your site.
• DNCP Series 400/400-CO system
• RJ-45 Connector
• UTP Category 5 Data Grade cable

Software Requirements
Software Requirements
Foroperating systems prior toHP-UX version 11.00.61,the U522 card mayrequire that
software patches be installed on the operating system. See the
U522, U405, U406, D843, and D844
systems and software patches needed to support the U522 PCI card on the DNCP
platform.
Also, the required Ethernet communications software must be installed before you can
use the U522 card. For information about installing and configuring the
communications software to be used with the U522 card, refer to the following:
•
HP-UX Operating System: LAN Configuration Guide
•
HP-UX Operating System: Redundant Network Interface
CAUTION
Do not use the RNI to pair two cards in the same card
cage. If you pair two cards in the same card cage, loss of
power to that card cage (including opening the card cage
door) will terminate the network link.

When you remove the card, hold it by its edges.
5. Remove the U522 card from its static-protective envelope.
6. Align the PCI card with the appropriate slot in the card cage frame and with the
backplane connector (Figure 2-3).
7. Press the PCI card gently but firmly into the backplane connector.

Connecting Cables and Configuring the Card
After installing the U522 card in the PCI card cage, you must connect the UTP cables
to the card and, if necessary, configure the card.
1. Connect the UTP cables to the card connectors on the top of the PCI card cage
(Figure 2-4).
2. Close the card cage door. When you close the door, power is restored to the card
cage.
3. If you replaced a U522 card that had been previously installed in the same slot, the
card performs a self-test, during which the yellow status light on the card cage is
illuminated. The yellow light then flashes while the system configures the card.
When the card is online, both the green and the yellow lights are illuminated,
indicating the card is running simplexed.
If this is a first-time installation, the red status light is illuminated, indicating that you
must install the communications software and configure it for use with the U522
card. Refer to the appropriate manual from those listed in the ‘‘Software
Requirements’’ in Chapter 1 for information on these procedures.

CAUTION
When handling a PCI card, always ground yourself to
prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging the card.
In addition, alwayshold the card byits edges; never touch
the components on the card.
1. Checkto see whether the red indicator light is illuminated. If it is,do not remove the
card from service without consulting your local DNCP Solutions Customer
Assistance Center. See ‘‘Getting Help” in Chapter 3. Otherwise, proceed to the
step.
2. Stop any processes or software that are using the U522 PCI card. If remote users
are connected through the card, ask them to log off, as disconnecting the card will
remove the system from the network.
3. Disconnect the cable or cables from the PCI card by squeezing the side of the
cable connector and gently pulling it out of the PCI card (Figure 2-5).
4. Disable the PCI card. Refer to
Administration
(MAN0004) for disabling instructions.

will cool if you wait for two minutes after opening the card
cage door before you remove the card.
7. Loosen the thumbscrews and open the retainer bar that secures the card to the
frame of the PCI card cage (Figure 2-6).
8. Grasp the top of the card with both hands (remember not to touch the components
on the card). Pull one end of the card outward to loosen it from the backplane
connector,then pull the other end outward to remove the card from the connector.
When the card is free, gently pull it out of the card cage.

DNCP Solutions maintenance software continuously monitors the function of PCI
cards. If a PCI card malfunctions, the system determines the severity of the problem.
If a malfunction is transient, the PCI card restarts automatically. If a malfunction is
permanent, the system takes the card out of service and the red status light on the PCI
card cage is illuminated.
In addition, the system records all PCI malfunctions in the online system error log files
and displays corresponding error messages on the system console. HP-UX error log
files use the path name /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
Getting Help
DNCP Solutions systems offer a unique failure-reporting and remote diagnosis feature
known as the Remote Service Network (RSN). If the RSN is connected to your system,
it automatically reports all part failures to the DNCP Solutions Customer Assistance
Center (CAC), which then notifies you of the problem and diagnoses its cause. (If you
are serviced by a distributor, the remote diagnosis and service process may vary.) If
the problem is caused by a failed PCI card, the CAC provides you with a replacement
procedure.

Getting Help
DNCP Solutions does not expect you to diagnose complex problems or perform major
repairs. However, in some cases you may be able to solve a problem without replacing
the card or contacting the CAC. When a status light or console message suggests that
either a U522 PCI card has failed or there is a network problem, follow these steps.
1. Check the syslog.log file, which may provide more detailed information about

Interpreting the PCI Card Status Lights
Each PCI card has three status lights that are arranged in a traffic light configuration
directly above the card on the PCI card cage. These status lights indicate the current
condition of the card. Figure 3-1 shows the status lights, and Table 3-1 explains their
meaning. A status light sticker is attached below the PCI card doors, in the rear of the
cabinet, for easy reference.

Inaddition tothe statuslights onthe PCIcard cage, there are eight status lights located
on the U522 PCI card itself. These status lights show activity on the Ethernet network.
There is a pair of green and yellow lights above and below the four RJ-45 cable
connectors. The yellow LNK (link) light indicates the card is connected to the network
and is receiving link pulses. The green ACT (activity) light indicates activity on the
