Installation Guide
6. Reinstall the screws and washers that attach the HBA to the mounting bracket. If you did not remove optical transceivers,
Section 2.2, Installing the HBA
7. Reinstall the transceiver by sliding it into the housing. When the latch engages, it clicks.
8. Push the bail back into place.
2.2 Installing the HBA
For LPe12000-series HBAs, if you need to change the PCI device ID jumper setting, follow the instructions in
Section 2.5, Changing the PCI Device ID Jumper Setting
, and then continue with this section.
To install the HBA, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer if hot-plug installation is not supported on the computer.
Refer to your computer documentation to see if the computer supports hot-plug or hot-swap of PCIe HBA cards.
2. Remove the computer case.
3. Remove the blank panel from an empty PCIe bus slot. All Emulex HBAs can use x16 PCIe bus slots. All Emulex HBAs
except LPe35004 HBAs can use x8 PCIe bus slots.
4. Insert the HBA into the empty slot. Press firmly until the HBA is seated.
NOTE:
Make sure that the HBA is in an appropriate PCIe slot that does not interfere with other components or with the
case to prevent damage to the HBA.
5. Secure the HBA mounting bracket to the case with a panel screw or clip.
6. Replace the computer case and tighten the case screws.
The HBA is now installed in the server and is ready for an FC device.
2.3 Attaching Media
NOTE:
The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or
compatible laser product (that is, multimode to multimode, or single-mode to single-mode).
The HBA does not automatically downgrade to the required FC speed based on the cable length. You must
downgrade the speed with the appropriate utility, or link errors might occur.
Use a multimode fiber-optic cable with short-wave lasers, or use a single-mode fiber-optic cable with long-wave lasers. The
cable must adhere to the specifications in the following tables. See the table that includes your HBA.
NOTE:
The following HBAs cannot use single-mode fiber-optic cable with long-wave fibers:
