Caution

Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) contain
electronic components that can be damaged by static
electricity through an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event.
To prevent ESD damage, maintain constant contact with
any grounded metal surface. A grounding wrist strap is
useful for this purpose. Handle the card carefully at all
times and preferably by the edges. Avoid touching
electronic components and keep the card in the original
packaging until you are ready for installation.
1. Record IEEE and serial numbers.
Each host bus adapter is shipped with a unique 64-bit identifier called the IEEE
address. The Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived
from the IEEE address, and this number is needed for Fibre Channel connectivity.
Since this adapter has two ports, there are two IEEE addresses. The IEEE address
is used when configuring your system. The serial number is used when
communicating with Emulex. All numbers are clearly marked on the board. We
recommend that you record these numbers before installation.
2. Turn off and unplug the computer.
3. Remove the computer case.
Note
For best I/O performance, place the adapter into
an empty PCI Express 1.0a compliant slot that is
capable of running in x4 link width.
4. Remove the blank panel from an empty 4x, 8x or 16x PCI-Express bus slot.
5. Insert the host bus adapter into the empty PCI Express slot. Press firmly until the
adapter is seated.
6. Secure the host bus adapter's mounting bracket to the case with the panel screw
or clip.
7. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
The host bus adapter is now installed in the PC and is ready for media attachment.
