Install the Host Bus Adapter Board
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. The serial number is used
when communicating with Emulex. Both numbers are clearly marked
on the board. We recommend that you record these numbers before
installation.
1.
Turn off and unplug the computer.
2.
Remove the computer case.
3.
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.
4.
Note
The host bus adapter comes with a standard PCI
bracket installed. The low−profile mounting bracket
is shorter than the standard bracket; approximately
3.11 in. (7.9cm) compared to 4.75 in. (12.06 cm)
long.
Remove the mounting bracket screws from the top of the host bus
adapter.
5.
Remove the bracket and store it for future use.
6.
Align the new mounting bracket tabs with the holes in the HBA.
7.
Note
Be careful not to push the bracket past
the transceiver housing's grounding tabs.
Replace the screws that attach the HBA to the bracket.
8.
Insert the host bus adapter into the empty 32− or 64−bit PCI or PCI−X
bus slot. Press firmly until it is seated.
