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 Node Name (NN), each of which is
derived from the HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and NN create
the WorldWide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte field that uniquely identifies
an HBA on a FC circuit.
Recording the Address and Serial Number
The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record
the addresses on the lines below for future reference.
IEEE address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: __________________________________________________
Installing the HBA into a Computer
Following is the procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
WARNING: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure.
1. Make sure the computer is powered down and the AC power cord is
disconnected.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.
3. Remove the blank panel from an empty 32- or 64-bit PCI bus slot.
4. Insert the HBA into the empty PCI bus slot; press firmly until it is
seated securely.
5. Secure the HBA mounting bracket to the computer panel with the panel
screws.
6. Replace the computer cover and secure it using the previously removed
screws.
