Configuring Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters
The manufacturer configures the internal settings for each optical Fibre Channel PCI
adapter before the adapters arrive at your site. The U525 PCI adapters are configured
to attach to a SAN or switch. The U526 PCI adapters are configured to attach directly
to a storage system.
For information about configuring the EMC storage systems, see the EMC
documentation supplied with the storage system.
Installing Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters
Before installing the optical Fibre Channel PCI adapters, you must download the
required driver and software updates from the Web as described in
“Software
Requirements of Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters” on page 3-4 .
N O T E
If you are installing optical Fibre Channel PCI adapters in
a production system, you must schedule downtime for the
following procedure. Though it is possible to remove the
I/O enclosures from certain systems and physically install
the adapters without shutting down the entire system, you
must still reboot the system when you install the EMC
PowerPath Software and any applicable software
updates.
To install the adapters
1. Install any applicable Microsoft hotfix software updates required by the storage
system.
2. Shut down the system.
