Chapter 2: Installation
The standard HBAs can be connected to fiber-optic cables.
If you do not need to change the HBA’s bracket, skip to Section 2.2, Installing the HBA . Otherwise, continue to
Section 2.1, Preparing the HBA for Installation .
2.1 Preparing the HBA for Installation
Most HBAs ship from the factory with a standard full-height PCIe mounting bracket installed, which you can remove and
replace with a low-profile bracket. Other HBAs ship from the factory with a low-profile PCIe mounting bracket installed, which
you can replace with a full-height bracket.
Some HBAs have removable optical transceivers, whereas others have fixed optical transceivers. If you are replacing the
mounting bracket, and the HBA has removable optical transceivers, you must first
remove all installed optical transceivers
from the housing (cage).
See the following table to determine the type of optical transceivers and the type of mounting bracket that are
factory-installed on each HBA model.
If the HBA does not contain removable optical transceivers, skip to Step 3 . Otherwise, follow these steps:
1. Remove the transceivers from their cage assemblies.
The HBA uses various types of optical transceivers. Figure 1 shows an example of one type with the bail (handle)
extended.
