Installation in a VMware
Environment
Overview
This section describes how to install a QLogic 8100 Series Adapter in VMware
®
ESX/ESXi environments including, hardware installation, driver installation, and
software installation.
Installing Hardware
To install the adapter:
1. Record the adapter model number, which can be found on the bar code
label on the adapter.
2. Determine whether the server requires a full-height or a half-height adapter
bracket. The QLogic 8100 Series Adapter ships with a full-height bracket
installed and a spare half-height (low profile) bracket.
To install the half-height bracket:
a. Using the bail handle of the SFP+ transceivers, pull out the SFP+
modules.
b. Remove the two screws that hold the full-height bracket using a
Phillips #1 screw driver.
CAUTION!
 To minimize the risk of ESD damage, use a workstation anti-static mat
and an ESD wrist strap.
 Leave the adapter in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it in
the server.
 Hold the adapter by the edge of the PCB or mounting bracket, not the
connectors.
 Place the adapter on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad
when it is out of its protective anti-static bag.
