After the host adapter is installed,
install device drivers
or run a
DOS diagnostic program
to
check host adapter functions or update firmware.
Record reference numbers
Each host adapter is shipped with a unique address identifier called the IEEE address. The
Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address,
and this number is need for arbitrated loop connectivity. The serial number is used when
communicating with Emulex. Both numbers are clearly marked on the board. We
recommend that you record these numbers before installation.
