Product Overview  
The AB545A PCI-X LAN cards have the following features and requirements:  
PCI-X 133 MHz capable card and is keyed so it only fits in 3.3V slots. It can operate at 32-bit or 64-bit  
modes and is supported in the following frequencies:  
PCI-X 133. Best performance is achieved by putting the card into one of the highest-performing (or  
dual-rope) PCI-X 133 slot. To identify which slots are the highest performing slots in a particular  
system, please refer to the hardware usersguide for each system.  
PCI-X 66  
PCI 66  
The AB545A card is not supported in PCI 33 bus mode. See the CAUTION that follows:  
CAUTION  
The AB545A card DOES NOT SUPPORT PCI 33 MHz operation. Therefore, do not place  
this card in the shared slot of a system where the card in the neighboring shared slot is a 33  
MHz only card!!! Please see Table 1 on page 7 for the list of 33 MHz only cards.  
Requires either HP-UX 11i v 2.0 (64 bit) operating environment (OE) of September 2004 (or later) or  
the software bundle, IEther-00 , from the 11i v 1.0 of December 2004 (or later) OE or application  
software media.  
For 11i v 2.0, your system needs to be on the September 2004 operating environment or later, so you  
need to load the entire OE.  
For systems that are already running 11i v 1.0, you can either just load the required software driver  
bundle, or you can load the entire December 2004 11i v 1.0 OE and /or application software and you  
will automatically get the driver you need for this card.  
Supported speeds: 10/100 Mbit/s either in full- or half-duplex modes and 1000 Mbit/s in full-duplex mode  
Supports autonegotiation.  
Supports Jumbo Frames.  
Supports HP Serviceguard and Auto-Port Aggregation (APA) for high availability.  
Supports virtual LANs (VLANs). This feature is described in Using HP-UX VLANs on http://docs.hp.com.  
Supports PCI-X online addition/replacement (OLA/R) on specified systems. A patch is required. If your  
system is running HP-UX 11i v 1.0, use PHKL_31227 (or later). If your system is running HP-UX 11i v  
2.0, use PHKL_31226 (or later). If the patch is not installed, the OLA operation will not succeed and the  
card will not be usable until the system is rebooted.  
For instructions on how to perform online addition and replacement (OLAR) for PA-RISC-based systems  
running HP-UX 11i v 1.0, see Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals. For instructions on performing OL* for  
Itanium-based systems and PA-RISC systems running HP-UX 11i v 2.0 of September 2004 or later, refer  
to the Interface Card OL* Support Guide .  
Supports configuration through SAM or command line on HP-UX 11i v2 and SMH or command line on  
HP-UX 11i v3.

Product Overview  
Driver Availability  
Supports vPars on HP Integrity and HP 9000 (PA-RISC-based) systems. Enables creation of additional  
partitions per server.  
Card resident EFI driver V 3.0.03.  
Supports LAN Boot on HP Integrity systems running HP-UX 11i v2 and on select HP 9000 systems  
running HP-UX 11i v1 or 11i v2.

IPv4 TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO).  
Operating Distance for 1000Base-T (Copper UTP): Up to 100 meters Cat 5 and Cat 5E  
Driver Availability  
The 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet cards use the iether driver. The bundle name for this driver is IEther-00. The  
first supported release of the HP-UX iether driver is as follows:  
* for HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11): December 2004 media  
* for HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23): September 2004 media or http://www.hp.com/  
To locate the iether driver on the web, go to http://www.hp.com/ and enter AB545A in the 'Search' field. On the  
search results page, scroll down to find the HP-UX 11.23 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Driver (iether).  
Verifying the LAN installation  
Verify that the LAN connectors Link LED is steadily on (this means the card and driver are installed  
successfully).  
Obtain the PPA number and the station address of each card by using the lanscancommand. The MAC  
address labelled on each card refers to LAN port A. Add 0x1(Hex) to obtain the MAC address for the next  
LAN port.  
To verify link-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:  
$
linkloop -i PPA_number remote_station_address  
Note: when you use linkloop, ensure that the remote system is on the same subnet and is an  
HP-UX-based system.  
To verify IP-level connectivity with a remote system, enter:  
$ping Remote_IP_Address  
and  
netstat -in

Verifying the LAN installation  
When you use netstat -in, the output values Ipktsand Opktsshould be incrementing.  
Installation is complete when you have successfully run linkloop, pingand netstat. To configure  
remote systems, see the Ethernet Support Guide available on the web at http://docs.hp.com. Do this step  
only if remote systems have not been previously configured.  
Optionally, if you want to verify that the iether driver appears for each installed card, enter: ioscan  
-fknClan  
The ioscan output for each port would look something like the following:  
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W  
lan 3 1/0/2/1/0/6/0 iether  
1000B-T Adapter  
State H/W Type Description  
CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB545-60001 PCI/PCI-X 4-port  
The last two digits of the hardware path (third column) reflect the path of each port -- in the sample  
output shown, the 0indicates LAN A (as shown in Figure 1). Both ports need to show as CLAIMEDhere.

Unsupported Shared Slot Usage with 33 MHz Cards  
Unsupported Shared Slot Usage with 33 MHz Cards  
The AB545A 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet card is not supported in the shared slots of systems where the card in  
the neighboring shared slot is a 33 MHz only card. The 33 MHz only cards are specified in Table 1.  
As of the date of publication of this document, the 3 systems listed in Table 1 are the main ones where the  
AB545A card should not be placed in the neighboring shared slot with the cards listed. The restriction applies  
to all systems with shared slots even if the system isnt shown in Table 1.
