Installing a Host Channel Adapter

Installing a Host Channel Adapter

Host Channel Adapter (HCA) cards are only required for servers that do not have InfiniBand

interfaces. Check the manufacturer's documentation to determine if your server requires an

HCA card. If you must install an HCA card, refer to your server's service label or user manual

for information.

Different servers have different methods for installing an HCA card. This section documents

one HCA installation procedure for a common server. You can use the procedure as a

general guideline for installing the HCA card, but Oracle recommends you also consult the

documentation from the server's manufacturer for specific installation information. 

Note - 

When using Gore InfiniBand cables, push the connector lock towards the cable's end, as

far as possible, before inserting the cable into the connector.

To install an HCA card, you will need the following equipment:

■

Various screwdrivers and/or hex-head wrenches (depending on the cable and connector

types)

■

ESD wrist strap

Caution - 

Observe proper ESD procedures when handling HCA cards.

Install a Host Channel Adapter

1.

Power down the server, and un-cable as necessary to gain access to the server's

PCI slots.

2.

Refer to the server's documentation to select the correct slot in which to install

the HCA card.

3.

Remove the server's cover. See 

Figure 46, “Removing the Server's Cover,” on

page 76

. The illustration shows applying downward pressure on securing

tabs (1), before sliding the cover off of the server (2).
