2 Installing the HBAs This chapter describes how to install the FC2143 and FC2243 HBAs. • Prerequisites, page 13 • Recording reference numbers, page 13 • Installing the HBA, page 14 See your server documentation for additional installation instructions. WARNING! Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the HBA. To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal server or workstation components to cool before touching. CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning this procedure, as described in Electrostatic discharge. Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure that you have: • An optical multimode cable with an LC-style duplex connector • An empty PCI-X slot NOTE: To ensure optimum I/O performance, insert the HBA into an empty PCI-X slot running at 133 MHz. Ensure that the PCI bus is not shared by another PCI card, which can decrease the PCI-X slot clock rate. Recording reference numbers Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier that is stored in flash memory. Fibre Channel industry standards issue two unique identifiers: worldwide port name (WWPN) and worldwide node name (WWNN), each of which is derived from the HBA's IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and WWNN create the worldwide name (WWN), which is an 8-byte identifier that uniquely identifies an HBA on a Fibre Channel circuit. The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record this information for future reference. NOTE: The WWN is a static identifier that cannot be changed.

instructions.
WARNING!
Disconnect
the host
from
the
power source before installing
the HBA. To reduce the
risk
of
personal
injury
from
hot
surfaces,
allow
the
internal
server
or
workstation
components
to
cool
before
touching.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic
discharge
(ESD)
can
damage
electronic
components.
Be
sure
you
are
properly
grounded
before
beginning
this
procedure,
as
described
in
Electrostatic
discharge
.
Prerequisites
Before
you
begin,
ensure
that
you
have:
•
An
optical
multimode
cable
with
an
LC-style
duplex
connector
•
An
empty
PCI-X
slot
NOTE:
To
ensure
optimum
I/O
performance,
insert
the
HBA
into
an
empty
PCI-X
slot
running
at
133
MHz.
Ensure
that
the
PCI
bus
is
not
shared
by
another
PCI
card,
which
can
decrease
the
PCI-X
slot
clock
rate.
Recording
reference
numbers
Each
HBA
ships
with
a
unique
address
identi
fi
er
that
is
stored
in
fl
ash
memory.
Fibre
Channel
industry
standards
issue
two
unique
identi
fi
ers:
worldwide
port
name
(WWPN)
and
worldwide
node
name
(WWNN),
each
of
which
is
derived
from
the
HBA’s
IEEE
address.
Combined,
the
WWPN
and
WWNN
create
the worldwide
name
(WWN),
which is an 8-byte identi
fi
er
that
uniquely
identi
fi
es
an
HBA
on
a
Fibre
Channel
circuit.
The
WWN
address
and
serial
number
are
clearly
marked
on
the
HBA.
Record
this
information
for
future
reference.
NOTE:
The
WWN
is
a
static
identi
fi
er
that
cannot
be
changed.
