HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800 Business Servers
P/N J2157A
Technical Data Sheet
HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800 Business Servers provides a Single Attach
Station (SAS) connection to the ISO standard 9314 Fiber Distributed
Data Interface (FDDI) network for HP 9000 Series 800 Business Servers.
HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800s is fully compliant with the ISO 9314
standard, providing an optical interface to the 100 Mbps FDDI network.
HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800s consists of a single double-high HP-PB
adapter and driver software. HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800s is supported
on the HP 9000 Model 890 as well as all of the HP 9000 Series 8x7
Business Servers.
FDDI is the high-speed local area network standard defined by the ISO
standard 9314. An FDDI network is a 100 Mbps fiber optic token ring
LAN arranged in a dual counter-rotating ring, fault tolerant topology.
FDDI offers greater capacity and distance than any existing LAN. The
FDDI token ring topology offers 100 Mbps, with a maximum length of 2 km
between stations, up to 500 stations per ring and a 100 km maximum ring
circumference.
Features
HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800 Business Servers provides:
- an FDDI Single Attach Station
- an HP Precision Bus FDDI connection
- an adapter requiring a single, double height HP-PB slot in an HP 9000
Series 8x7 Business Server
- an implementation fully compliant with ISO standard 9314
- Full compatibility with SMT version 6.2
- a Media Interface Connector (MIC) receptacle
- customer installable and configurable hardware and software
- SNMP management (RFC 1157) with MIB II (RFC 1158)
HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800s supports standard and de facto standard
services including BSD/ARPA, OSI services, and NFS. Support of
standard and de facto standard APIs include BSD Sockets, XTI, ROSE, and
ACSE/presentation. The internet protocols TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, the OSI
protocols and ISO standard 8802/2 are supported. Network management
includes SNMP (RFC 1157) and MIB II (RFC 1158).
The FDDI network consists of two independent 100 Mbps rings, the
primary and the secondary. The dual ring approach provides redundancy
and the ability to reconfigure the network under fault conditions. An
FDDI ring has two station types, dual attach (Class A) that connects to
both primary and secondary rings, and single attach (Class B), that
connects to either primary or secondary rings, but not to both. Class
A and Class B stations continue to operate in a reconfigured ring under
fault conditions. In addition, Class B stations can be easily isolated
in the case of station failure.
An FDDI network can include Dual Attach Stations (DAS), Single Attach
Stations (SAS), and concentrators. Concentrators connect multiple
single attach stations to the FDDI network in a star-like fashion. HP
FDDI/9000 for the Series 800 requires a concentrator to connect the
Series 800 Business Server to the FDDI network. HP does not
manufacture its own FDDI concentrator.
Dual Attach Stations are connected to both of the rings and provide
fault tolerance by allowing the rings to "wrap" in the event of a ring
failure. Concentrators are used with Single Attach Stations and provide
the interface to the dual ring architecture. The concentrator
maintains the fault tolerant capability. HP FDDI/9000 for the Series
800 is compliant with any vendor's concentrator product meeting the ISO
standard 9314.
HP FDDI/9000 for Series 800s includes the software license to use, the
HP-PB FDDI Single Attach Station adapter, the HP-PB FDDI Installation
and Configuration Guide, and the Installing and Administrating
FDDI/9000 Software manual.
Three components of the HP FDDI/9000 Series 800 adapter conform to the
OSI model as shown below: the physical layer, the data link layer, and
station management. The physical layer includes two pieces, the
Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) layer that provides the point-to-point
communications between stations in the network, and the PHYsical (PHY)
layer protocol layer that provides a connection between the physical
medium dependent layer and the data link layer.
.PA
The data link layer includes the Media Access Control (MAC) standard.
For reference, the Logical Link Control (LLC) standard is directly
above the MAC. The MAC's primary function is the delivery of frames.
The LLC provides a common protocol between the MAC and network layer.

The FDDI standard is final with the exception of the Station Management
(SMT) portion. SMT is the software portion of the FDDI standard that
defines how FDDI nodes are monitored and configured by a network
management service. HP FDDI/9000 for the Series 800 supports SMT
version 6.2. As the SMT portion of the standard evolves to newer
versions of SMT, the SMT software of HP FDDI/9000 for the Series 800
will be enhanced to support these later versions of SMT.

Installation Policy
Prior to installing HP FDDI/9000 for the Series 800, the customer is
responsible for completing the following:
-properly installing either HP-UX 8.02 or 9.0 on the HP 9000 Series 800
-properly installing FDDI wiring
-properly attaching and configuring all necessary networking devices,
including concentrators and cables
HP FDDI/9000 for the Series 800 is customer installable and

One HP FDDI/9000 Series 800 adapter is supported in the Model 807,
Model 817 and Model 837. All other Series 800 systems support two HP
FDDI/9000 Series 800 adapters.
An FDDI network concentrator is required to connect single attach
stations to the FDDI ring. HP does not manufacture its own FDDI
concentrator.
An FDDI cable is required to connect the HP FDDI/9000 Series 800
adapter to the concentrator. A standard FDDI MIC connector cable can
be purchased from any distributor.
FDDI Accessory Components
Two interconnecting FDDI cables and an attenuating loopback connector
are available from Hewlett-Packard.
The interconnecting cables are used when FDDI cabling from a central
wiring closet and/or FDDI concentrator to an office or work area is
provided, but the interconnection from a wall jack to the network
adapter card is not provided.
The FDDI MIC loopback attenuator is used to isolate the network adapter
from the rest of the network and to verify the operational status of
the network adapter's optical components. The 11dB attenuation
simulates the maximum cabling loss allowed by the ISO standard 9314.
