A6825A HP PCI 1-Port 1000Base-T Gigabit Copper Adapter

A6825A is a 1000Base-T copper Gigabit Ethernet network interface board for HP-UX with one RJ-45 connector, needing one 64-bit PCI slot. The board measures 6.6 in by 2.5 in and draws 8 W at most. The driver is the GigEther-01 bundle (igelan) on HP-UX 11i v1, which turns checksum offload on or off per card from the May 2005 releases and accepts a switch fixed at 1000 Mbit/s full duplex. The same spec table covers A6847A, its fibre sibling.

Cards per server: rp2400, rp2430, rp2450 and rp2470 take 4, the rp3410 takes 2, the rp3440 4, the rp4410 and rp4440 6, the rp7420 15, the rp7440 16 and the rp8420 and rp8440 16. On Itanium the rx1600 and rx1620 take 2, the rx2600 and rx2620 4, the rx4640 6, the rx5670 9, the rx7620 and rx7640 15 and the rx8620 and rx8640 16. In the rx2660 three fit with all PCI-X slots and one with combined PCIe slots; the rx3600 and rx6600 take eight with all PCI-X slots and four with all PCIe slots.

On the rx56xx servers A6825A cannot be placed in slot 2. Boot is available on the rp3410, rp3440, rp4410, rp4440, rp7410, rp7420, rp7440, rp8400, rp8420 and rp8440 and on the rx4640, rx5670, rx7620, rx7640, rx8620 and rx8640. The board supports 10, 100 and 1000 Mbit/s with full duplex on all three speeds, half duplex at 10 and 100, and jumbo frames of 9000 bytes.

Servers on the HP-UX hubs include the HP 9000 rp3410, rp4440 and HP Integrity rx2600.
