1.1 Overview
The IN200 Ethernet NIC (IN200 for short) is a PCIe card for Huawei servers. It supports four
25GE SFP28 optical ports as external service ports.
The IN200 is a PCIe card based on the Huawei HiSilicon Hi1822 NIC chip. It supports PCIe
3.0 x16 and Inter-integrated Circuit (I2C) channel, supports System Management Bus
(SMBus), and Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) out-of-band
management. Figure 1-1 shows the architecture of the IN200.

NOTE
lYou are advised to use the latest driver, firmware, and management tool released on Huawei
enterprise service website (https://e.huawei.com/en/).
lEnsure that the version of the firmware used for installation or upgrade is not earlier than the driver
version. For example, if the driver version is 1.8.2.7, the firmware version must be 1.8.2.7 or a later.
lAfter the driver is upgraded, you must also upgrade the firmware and management tool.
Verifying Installation Package Integrity
Verify that the obtained installation packages are the same as those at the website.
On the download page, click to obtain the digital software certificate, and click to
download the software.
Obtain the verification tool and method from Digital Signature Verification Tool.
(Optional) Obtain the SUSE gpg public keytaining SUSE Linux Certificate and
Public Key
The driver packages of SUSE Linux are certificated. Before installing the driver, install the
corresponding certificate and public key on the server.
lObtain the SUSE Linux PLDP certificate
lObtain the SUSE gpg public key
2.2 Maintaining the NIC Driver
2.2.1 Preparations (SUSE Linux)
The IN200 has been certificated by SUSE. Before installing, or upgrading drivers for SUSE
Linux, you need to import the SUSE Linux PLDP UEFI certificate (mandatory in the Secure
Boot mode) and gpg public key of the installation package.
(Optional) Importing the SUSE PLDP Certificate
Before installing the IN200 driver on the server in the BIOS UEFI safe mode, import the
SUSE PLDP UEFI certificate in the BIOS to support the certificated IN200 driver.
Step 1 Obtain the SUSE Linux PLDP UEFI certificate.
For details about the certificate address, see 2.1 Obtaining Software Packages.

Step 2 Import the SUSE Linux PLDP UEFI certificate to the BIOS.
On the BIOS screen, choose Administer Secure Boot > DB Options > Enroll Signature and
import the SUSE LDAP UEFI certificate. After the certificate is imported, PLDP Secure
Boot Signing Key is displayed in the DB Signature List, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Importing a certificate
For details, see the server BIOS parameter reference.
----End
Importing the SUSE gpg Public Key
You only need to import the gpg public key of the SUSE installation package once.
Step 1 Obtain the SUSE gpg public key.
For details about the certificate address, see 2.1 Obtaining Software Packages.
Step 2 Upload the public file such as gpg-pubkey-c2bea7e6-4c2de264.asc to any directory of the
operating system on the server.
Step 3 Run the rpm --import command to import the public key to the operating system.
rpm --import gpg-pubkey-c2bea7e6-4c2de264.asc
