Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) Networks
You must use the correct Gigabit Ethernet network card to connect your Linux workstation to
the Wire network. Otherwise, you may degrade the performance of your Wire network.
Do the following to maximize Wire network performance in your facility:
•
Connect ports from the add-on network card to the switch used for your Wire network.
•
Connect the house network to the on-board network port shown in

on page 11. Do not use any of the ports on the add-on network card for your house
network. If the house network is not connected to the on-board network port, consult your
system administrator to reconfigure it.
•
Use high-quality Category 6 (Cat 6) network cables when connecting the Linux workstation
to your Wire network switch.
Connecting to the Infiniband (IB) Network
Your Linux workstation may be configured with an optional QuickSilver InfiniSERV 7000
adapter. The IB network adapter resides in PCI slot five. On the HP xw8400 workstation the PCI
slots are numbered one to seven from top to bottom. Consult the
Diagrams"
on page 11 as a reference for the optional IB network adapter location.
