8 • Many computers are capable of producing energy levels that are considered hazardous. Users should not remove enclosures nor should they bypass the interlocks provided to protect one from these hazardous conditions. • Installation of this HCA should be performed by individuals who are both qualified in the servicing of computer equipment, and trained in the hazards associated with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels. • To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching. Installing an HCA in a PCI-X or PCI-Express Connector The HCA comes preconfigured. You do not have to set any jumpers or connectors. To install the HCA: 1. Note the Global Unique ID (GUID) numbers from the hardware. You will need this number when performing configurations. Optionally, you can run vstat or vstat -v (a utility that is available after host driver installation) to view the Global ID (GID). The GUID is the last 8-bytes of the GID. The GUID will look something like this: 00:05:ad:00:00:00:02:40 2. Log on to the host system as the root user. 3. Power down the host system. 4. Disconnect the power cable. NOTE: This is an important step, as serious damage could be caused by the standby power accidently being powered on during the HCA installation. 5. Ground yourself appropriately to the host chassis. 6. Remove the host-system cover to access the PCI slots. 7. Insert the HCA into the appropriate slot, if you have not already done so. Refer to "Selecting the Host Connector" on page 5. 8. Screw the HCA to the host mounting-rail. 9. Replace the host-system access cover. 10. Power-up the host system. 11. Install the host drivers as described on page 12. 12. Connect the IB cables, as described in "Connecting the InfiniBand Cables" on page 9.
