Connecting HP9000 K570 in Gigabit ethernet

[Francisco Alfaro]

What are the adapters to connect a Server HP9000 K570 (HPUX 11.0) to LAN Gigabit ethernet (Fiber/copper)??

[Jesse Dougherty]

are you looking for this:

A6685A - HSC Tachlite Fiber Channel adapter - 1Gbps short wave adapter with Tachyon TL chip - Installed in a 5V or universal HSC slot - Has SC connectors

[Scot Bean]

No, the FibreChannel cards are not LAN cards, they connect to storage devices only.

Looks like the only card for K-class is

A4924A: One-port HSC 1000Base-SX for K-class over fiber

It was discussed in this document about Gigabit networking:

Jesse.
the adapter A6685A is for a SAN, we are looking for a LAN 1000 BaseT with copper(RJ45) or Fiber (SC).
thanks for your information and regards.

Hi,

if you don't have free HSC slots, you must buy additional HSC expansion board:

A3695A expansion board with 4 HSC slots
or
A3696A expansion board with 2 HSC slots
