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.

Handling Static Sensitive Devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid
damage, keep this device in its static protective bag until you are ready to install it.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed
below:
Ÿ Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
Ÿ Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Ÿ Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Ÿ Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
Ÿ While 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.)
Ÿ Remove 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.
Ÿ Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

3-2 Installation and User's Guide
Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver on the RS/6000 SP
System
In an SP, you need to do on each node what you normally do on a standalone
system. You must make the installation files available and then install them on all
the relevant nodes.
Perform the following tasks on the Control Workstation. You should not need to
telnet or rlogin to the individual SP nodes. You need to be familiar with the dsh
command. If not, refer to the Parallel System Support Program for AIX:
Administration Guide or Parallel System Support Program for AIX: Command and
Technical Reference.
If you are unable to utilize the "dsh" command because of the setup at your site,
then you will have to telnet to each node and perform the steps below, omitting the
"dsh" prefix.
Check System Pre-Requisites
1. Log into the Control Workstation as a root.
2. Go to a temporary directory by typing:
cd /tmp
at the system prompt, then press Enter.
3. Make a "working collective" file containing a list of the relevant nodes on
which you want to perform the update in preparation for the dsh command.
Type the following, press Enter after each line:
cat > group1
nodename1
nodename2
nodename3......
CTRL-D
export WCOLL=/tmp/group1
4. Test the working collective by typing:
dsh date
then press Enter. The results should look similar to:
nodename1: Wed Apr 1ð 1ð:37:46 EDT 1996
nodename2: Wed Apr 1ð 1ð:37:46 EDT 1996
nodename3: Wed Apr 1ð 1ð:37:47 EDT 1996
nodename4: Wed Apr 1ð 1ð:37:48 EDT 1996
Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver on the SP System 4-1
If not, examine your nodelist file ./group1 and also ensure that the Kerberos
ticket is current to permit "rsh" to be performed. If not, you may need to
refresh it. The System Administrator should also be able to help you with
Kerberos initialization. If not, consult your support center.
If you only need to do a few nodes, use the dsh -w host1,host2,host3...
command format to explicitly exercise groups of nodes rather than using the
working collective.
5. Determine if the AIX operating system on each relevant node is at the
required level by typing:
dsh oslevel
-OR -
dsh -w <host1,host2> oslevel
at the prompt, then press Enter. <host1,host2> is a list of the hostnames for
the nodes which the adapter will be installed on.
6. The required AIX Level is: 4.2.1 and higher.
If the nodes are NOT at a supported AIX level, upgrade the AIX level on the
nodes. Contact the System Administrator for assistance.
7. Determine if the PSSP level on each node is at the required level by typing:
/usr/lpp/ssp/bin/splstdata -G -b
then press Enter. The results 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
