Careful on the 9x9 boxes as they need to be patched to allow 2 100BT cards
in external bus converters.

Thank you,

Pretty much all the HPe3000s come with a 10mbit LAN interface built-in,
along with the console port, a support link modem port,
and an 8 and 16 bit SCSI interface. I really wish they would start
shippng a 100mbit card. Perhaps when they switch to PCI
(next year?) then I/O will change for the better (and cheaper and faster!)


Many of us then add a 100mBit LAN card as well.
You have to pay for bothhardware and software. Pricing varies,
but one recent  quote I have lists the
A5488A  100Base-TX High Speed Network Card at $1750,
and bills for installation
and software configuration separately. There is also yearly
hardware support at$120 a year,
plus software license fees which vary by system.

B5427BA     340 System License for HP 3000 Tier 6 SPUs  1,950
B5427BA     0S6 First Year of System Support Option.    168

Assuming you have a free slot for the card, and pay for HP
to install and configure it for you, it is all done for you
and you should be left with a functioning system.

I think they can install several LAN cards, but doubt most HP3000
installations would have the horsepower (or need)
to keep more than one 100mbit interface very busy.

Hi all,

I am new to the HP3000 system and I am wondering if I can put 2
ethernet cards on a HP3000 system and how to config them.

Also, if you can point me to some related docs/FAQs, I would really
appreciate it.

Thank you.

P.S. I have set up and managed UNIX, Linux, and Windows based
networks, but HP3000 is my first. So I know how to set up IPs, default
gateways, netmask, DNS, ...

Thanks again.

Ray
