Software Installation Instructions
NOTE
The Fire GL-UX Software CD-ROM must be installed prior to using the workstation
when a Fire GL-UX graphics card is installed. Basic drivers for the Fire GL-UX are
included in the Hardware Enablement Bundle (March 2002) and on factory-ignited
workstations. These drivers are supported only for installing the full drivers from the
Fire GL-UX Software CD-ROM. If you are upgrading a workstation that already has a
video card, the Fire GL-UX Software CD-ROM must be installed prior to installing the
Fire GL-UX graphics card.
1. Insert the Fire GL-UX Software CD-ROM (HP Part No. A7789-91001) into your CD-ROM Drive.
2. As root, mount the CD to a directory. For example:
$mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 <directory_name>
3. Change directories (cd) to the <directory_name>
4. Execute the “install” script by typing:
#./install
This script is included on the CD and contains the appropriate
swinstall
command and options to
install the software.
5. Your Fire GL-UX software is now ready for use
NOTE
For Ignite-UX: The March 2002 (or later) release of Ignite-UX must be used on an
ignite server to boot target workstations having a Fire GL-UX console. All of the
prerequisite OS software and all patches on the Fire GL-UX Software CD-ROM must
be ignited on the target workstation in order to generate a functioning and supported
configuration.
Making Software And Device-specific Changes
For important information on re-configuring an existing graphics card (for example, creating the
proper device files), refer to your workstation Owner's Guide, Technical Reference or the Graphics
Administration Guide which is found on the
http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport
web page.
Removing/Replacing Cards
NOTE
Please read your workstation documentation for important system configuration
information.
CAUTION
Graphics boards are susceptible to electrostatic shock. When handling your
graphics board, always wear a properly grounded wrist strap and handle the
board carefully. Always unplug the AC power cord from the workstation before
opening the cabinet and performing any installation inside the workstation
