Chapter 2. Preparing to Install a Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter

This chapter helps you prepare to install a Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter.

Note: If AIX is not installed on your system unit, install your adapter before you install

the operating system. (See “Chapter 5. Installing the Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI
Adapter” on page 21) When you install AIX, your device driver software
automatically installs.

If AIX is operating on your system, install your device driver software before you
install your adapter. (See “Chapter 3. Installing Device Driver Software” on
page 5)

Checking Prerequisites

To install a Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter, you need the following on hand:

v

The system unit documentation

v

The operating system documentation

v

A flat-blade screwdriver

v

Media containing device driver software
