1 Installing the Emulex CNA
This chapter describes the following topics for installing the CNA:
• “Installation prerequisites” (page 5)
• “Installing the Emulex CNA” (page 6)
See the server documentation for additional information about installing the CNA.
WARNING! Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the CNA. To reduce the
risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal server or workstation components to
cool before touching.
Installation prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items available:
• An optical multimode cable with an LC-style duplex connector and approved SFP+ module or
copper cable
• A server with an empty x8 PCIe bus slot
Recording reference numbers
Each CNA is shipped with the following two numbers clearly marked on the board:
• IEEE address (Port 1 MAC address)
• Serial number
The MAC address is a unique 48-bit identifier used when configuring the system. The Fibre Channel
industry uses the World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the MAC address for Fibre Channel
connectivity. The adapter has two ports. Therefore, it has two MAC addresses and two WWNs,
one for each port. Use the serial number when communicating with HP.
NOTE: The factory default MAC addresses are permanent identifiers that cannot be changed.
The MAC address for Port 1 is listed on the CNA. The MAC address for Port 2 and the WWNs
are calculated based on the Port 1 address as follows:

Record the serial number and MAC addresses and WWNs for your CNA before installation.
