[comp.sys.hp] Compatible E-net card?

Steve_Lammert@TRANSARC.COM (03/15/91)

We have a 9000-815 with an Ethernet card.
The designation on the card is "28652-60001 802.3 LAN".

We'd like to swap this card out of the 815 and put
it in a 9000-832 that we will soon acquire.
Any chance that the 815 Ethernet card will work in the 832?

TIA.

Steve,

The 815 and 832 (and 808, 822, 842, and 852) all use the same peripheral
cards.  Your 815 LAN card will work just fine in your new 832.

I'm not HP's spokesman, but I think you may need to order a copy of the
LAN/9000 software for your 832-- that would be product number 36967A
with option AE5 (right-to-use on 832 and several other processors but
not the 815) and option 001 (delete hardware).  Your sales rep or SE
would know for sure, just as they would have known the answer to your
original question.
