•
No host operating system changes are required, that is, NIC and HBA functionality (including
device management, utilities, and so forth) are transparent to the host operating system.
Prerequisites
•
PCI Express 2.0 compliant systems: x8 or x16 lane transfer link interface at up to 5 Gb/s per
lane.
CNA Identification
Each CNA is shipped with several numbers clearly marked on the board Including:
•
The IEEE Address
•
The World Wide Name (wwn)
•
The serial number
•
The IEEE address is a unique 64-bit identifier that you use when configuring your system. The
FC industry uses the World Wide Name (wwn) derived from the IEEE address for FC
connectivity. If the adapter has two ports, it has two IEEE addresses and two wwns, one for each
port. Use the serial number when communicating with Emulex. Record these numbers before
installation.
Installing the Converged Network Adapter
The Emulex
OCe10102 CNAs use removable optical transceivers or copper interface cables.
Preparing the CNA for Installation
1.
Turn off the computer and unplug it.
2.
Remove the computer case.
3.
Follow steps 4
–
12 to change the bracket if you want the low profile. Otherwise, skip to “Installing
4.
To change the bracket, you must first remove the transceiver from its cage assembly.
CAUTION: This is a delicate operation–take care not to damage the transceiver.
The CNA uses different types of transceivers. Figure 2 shows an example of one type of trans-
ceiver with the bail (handle) extended.

Note:
The CNA comes with a standard PCIe bracket installed. A low-profile bracket is
included in the box with the CNA. 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.
