Install the Host Bus Adapter Board
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 (HBA) 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-X slot that is running at 133 MHz.
Ensure that the PCI bus is not shared with another
PCI card that can lower the PCI slot clock rate.
4. Remove the blank panel from an empty 32- or 64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus slot.
Compare the removed panel to the bracket on the host bus adapter. Follow
steps 5-8 to change the bracket if they are different sizes. Otherwise, skip to
step 9.
