Chapter 5. Installing the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter 

This chapter provides instructions for installing the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (Type 4-S), 2 
Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter for 64-bit PCI Bus (Type 4-W), and 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter 
(Type 5704) adapters. All references to 

Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter

″ 

apply to all adapters, unless 

otherwise noted. 

 

Attention:  

Be sure you have read “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page vii before handling your 

Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter. Do not remove the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter from its 
anti-static package at this time. 

Installing the Adapter 

To install the adapter, do the following: 

1.    Be sure you have read Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install a Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter,” on page 

5 to determine: 

 

 

If you should install your adapter hardware first 

 

 

If you should install your device driver software first

2.    If you should install your adapter hardware first, go to step 4 and continue with this section. 

3.    If you should install your device driver software first, refer to either Chapter 3, “Installing the Device 

Driver on an RS/6000 and pSeries System,” on page 7 or Chapter 4, “Installing the Device Driver 
Software on an RS/6000 SP System,” on page 9. Return here to install your hardware. 

4.    Refer to your system unit documentation to perform the following: 

a.    Shut down your system unit. 

b.    Install the adapter into your system unit in any primary PCI bus.

5.    After the installation is complete, connect the cable to the adapter. 

6.    Turn on your system unit. Go to “Verifying Hardware Installation.”

Verifying the Installation 

Verify the initial installation by using the following procedures: 

 

 

Verify Hardware Installation (lsdev) 

 

 

Verify AIX Software Installation (lslpp)

Verifying Hardware Installation 

To verify that your system unit recognizes the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter, do the following: 

1.    If necessary, log in as root user. 

2.   Type: 

lsdev -C | grep fcs 

3.   Press 

Enter. 

 Possible results are as follows: 

 

 

If the adapter did install, the following is an example of the data that displays on your screen: 

     

fcs0 Available 20-60 

 

If more than one Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter is installed, one line of output displays for each 
adapter. 

 

 

If the message on your screen indicates your adapter is 

Defined 

instead of 

Available

, shut down 

your machine. Check the adapter to ensure that it is installed correctly. Go to Chapter 5, “Installing 
the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter,” and return to “Verifying Hardware Installation” and repeat 
steps 1-3.
