Figure 1-3 Connecting the AD381A (fiber) card Refer to the tables in the next chapter for maximum operating distances. 2. Attach the free end of the LAN cable (or cables) to any unused port on the Gigabit switch. Ensure that the switch is configured to support any new connections. If you are using Jumbo Ethernet frames, ensure that the following conditions exist: • All end stations on a given LAN have the same maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting. • Intermediate stations such as switch ports in your LAN have an MTU equal to or greater than the end station's MTU. 3. Ensure that the power cable is connected to system. 4. Power up the system. NOTE: To obtain updates for the adapter driver, check the HP Driver Support site: http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers. Installing the software HP Integrity servers automatically detect and configure PCI-compliant adapters when restarting. The adapter IRQ level is automatically set by the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) each time the server restarts. If configuration problems are encountered, see the HP Support site: http://support.hp.com/. 14 Hardware and software installation procedures

2.
Attach the free end of the LAN cable (or cables) to any unused port on the Gigabit switch.
Ensure that the switch is configured to support any new connections.
If you are using Jumbo Ethernet frames, ensure that the following conditions exist:
All end stations on a given LAN have the same maximum transmission unit (MTU)
setting.
Intermediate stations such as switch ports in your LAN have an MTU equal to or greater
than the end station’s MTU.
3.
Ensure that the power cable is connected to system.
4.
Power up the system.
