▼ To Install the HBA Hardware
To install the single and dual port HBAs, you must open the system and identify an
empty PCI or PCI-X slot. The single and dual port HBAs are keyed to prevent
installation in +5.0-V signaling PCI slot types. If necessary, consult your system
manual for instructions on removing the system cover.
1. Record IEEE and serial numbers.
Each HBA is shipped with at least one unique 64-bit identifier called the IEEE
address. The Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from
the IEEE address. This number is needed for FC connectivity. Because the dual-port
HBA has two ports, it has two IEEE addresses. The IEEE address is used for
configuring your system. The serial number is used for communicating with Sun. All
numbers are clearly marked on the board. Record these numbers before installation.
2. Shut down, power off, and unplug the system.
3. Remove the system case.
4. Remove the blank panel from an empty PCI or PCI-X slot.
5. If needed, replace the low-profile PCI bracket with the standard mounting
bracket by performing the following steps:
Note – The single and dual port HBAs are shipped with a low-profile PCI bracket
installed. This bracket is approximately 3.11 in. (7.9 cm) long. A standard mounting
bracket, which is approximately 4.75 in. (12.6 cm), is provided with each X-option
order.
a. Remove the mounting bracket screws from the single and dual port HBAs
(see
FIGURE 3-1).
