Dual Port Fibre Channel Mezzanine Card
An optional dual port Fibre Channel (FC) Mezzanine Card enables Fibre Channel support for
clustering capabilities and a SAN connection when used in conjunction with an interconnect
with Fibre Channel support. The FC Mezzanine Card replaces the standard NIC module that
is shipped with some server blades. For more information about connecting to the SAN, refer
to the
Heterogeneous Open SAN Design Reference Guide
located at
http://www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html
.
To install the FC Mezzanine Card:
NOTE:
Perform these steps only if you are replacing the standard NIC module with the FC Mezzanine
Card option. The FC Mezzanine Card may already be installed on some server blades. Refer to the
HP

1. Power down the server blade and remove it from the server blade enclosure. Refer to the
“Server Blade Preparation” section in this chapter.

3. Remove the standard NIC module if installed. Refer to “NIC Modules” in this chapter.
