Safety Information
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.
Laser Safety Information
Laser Compliance
All Lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR
Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in
compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition 1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the
label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to
laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance,
or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can contain
equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at
greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an
optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should
perform the inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.

vi Installation and Using Guide

Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid
damage, keep this device in its anti-static protective bag until you are ready to install it.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed below:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or other printed circuitry.
vDo not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
vWhile the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal part
of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the
package and from your body).
vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its
static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up).
Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
vTake additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

8Installation and Using Guide

Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver on the RS/6000 SP System
For an SP system, the installation tasks must be performed on each node. You must
make the installation files available and then install them on all the relevant nodes. This
chapter discusses the following tasks to enable you to install the device driver on the
RS/6000 SP System:
vChecking System Prerequisites
vInstalling Software on the Control Workstation (
if the device driver is not in the
lppsource directory)
vInstalling Device Drivers on the SP Nodes (
if the device driver and additional
software are not already installed)
Perform the following tasks on the Control Workstation. If you are unfamiliar with the
dsh command, refer to one of the following Parallel System Support Program (PSSP)
publications:
v
Parallel System Support Program for AIX: Administration Guide
v Parallel System Support Program for AIX: Command and Technical Reference
If you cannot use the dsh command because of the setup at your site, then use the
telnet command to each node. Then perform the steps below, beginning with step 5,
and omitting the dsh prefix.
For information about installing the device driver for the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI
Adapter (Type 4-S), see “SP Device Driver Installation for Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI
Adapter (Type 4-S)”, below.
For information about installing the device driver for the 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI
Adapter (Type 4-W), see “SP Device Driver Installation for 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI
Adapter (Type 4-W)” on page 14.
SP Device Driver Installation for Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (Type 4-S)
Checking System Prerequisites
Do the following to check system prerequisites:
__ 1. Log into the Control Workstation as a root user.
__ 2. Go to a temporary directory by typing the following at the system prompt:
cd /tmp
Press Enter.
__ 3. Make a ″working collective″file containing a list of the relevant nodes on which
you want to perform the update. Type the following, pressing Enter after each
line:
9

cat > group1
nodename1
nodename2
nodename3......
CTRL-D
export WCOLL=/tmp/group1
__ 4. Test the working collective file by typing the following:
dsh date
Press Enter. The results should look similar to the following:
nodename1: Wed Apr 10 10:37:46 EDT 1999
nodename2: Wed Apr 10 10:37:46 EDT 1999
nodename3: Wed Apr 10 10:37:47 EDT 1999
nodename4: Wed Apr 10 10:37:48 EDT 1999
If not, examine your nodelist file /tmp/group1 to ensure that the node names
are correct. Also ensure that the Kerberos ticket is current to permit rsh to be
performed. If not, you may need to refresh it. Contact your system administrator
for assistance with Kerberos initialization. If the system administrator is unable
to help you, consult your support center.
An alternative way to specify a working collective is by using the -w flag with
the dsh command. If you need to install only a few nodes, use the dsh -w
host1, host2, host3...command format to explicitly reference groups of nodes.
__ 5. Determine if the AIX operating system on each relevant node is at the required
level by typing the following at the prompt:
dsh oslevel
OR
dsh -w <host1,host2> oslevel
Press Enter. <host1,host2> is a list of the host names for the nodes on which
the adapter will be installed. The required AIX level is: 4.3.3 or later.
If the nodes are
not at a supported AIX level, upgrade the AIX level on the
nodes. Contact the system administrator for assistance.
__ 6. Determine if the PSSP level on each node is at the required level by typing the
following:
/usr/lpp/ssp/bin/splstdata -G -b
Press Enter. The results display for all nodes and are in a form similar to the
following:
node# hostname hdw_enet_addr srvr response install_disk
last_install_image last_install_time next_install_image lppsource_name
pssp_ver
