Installing the Host Bus Adapter
To install the HBA:
1. Each HBA is shipped with a unique 64-bit identifier called the IEEE address. The FC industry
uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address, and this number is needed for
FC 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.
4. Remove the blank panel from an empty PCI or PCI-X bus slot. Follow steps 5
–
8 to change the
bracket if they are different sizes. Otherwise, skip to step 9.
5. Remove the mounting bracket screws from the top of the HBA.

6. Remove the bracket and store it for future use.
7. Align the new mounting bracket tabs with the holes in the HBA.
8. Replace the screws that attach the HBA to the bracket.
9. Insert the HBA into the empty 32- or 64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus slot. Press firmly until the adapter is
seated.
10. Secure the HBA's mounting bracket to the case with the panel screw or clip.
11. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
The HBA is now installed in the PC and is ready for media attachment.
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.
Note: The HBA comes with a standard PCI bracket installed. A low-profile bracket is
included in the box with the HBA. The low-profile mounting bracket is shorter than the
standard bracket; approximately 3.11 in. (7.9 cm) compared to 4.75 in. (12.06 cm)
long.
Note: Be careful not to push the bracket past the transceiver housing's grounding tabs.
Make sure the light emitting diodes (LEDs) are properly aligned with the holes
in the bracket.
