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: world wide 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 world wide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte identifier that uniquely identifies an HBA
on an FC circuit. The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record
the addresses on the lines below for future reference.
In addition, each HBA has a unique serial number that is located on the bottom of the HBA. Check
the HBA and record its serial number so that you have the number in the unlikely event that the
NVRAM is corrupted.
NOTE: The WWN is a static identifier that cannot be changed.
WWN address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: __________________________________________________
Installing the HBA
Use the following procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
CAUTION: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure.
1. Make sure the computer is powered off.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.
3. Wearing an anti-static wrist strap, remove the blank panel from an empty 4x, 8x, or 16x
PCI-Express bus slot.
4. Insert the HBA into the empty PCI-Express slot. Press firmly until the HBA is seated.
5. Secure the HBA's mounting bracket to the case with the panel clip.
6. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
7. Attach media:
• Connect the fiber optic cable to the LC connector on the HBA.
• Connect the other end of the cable to the Fibre Channel device.
NOTE: The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless the link is
connected to a similar or compatible laser product. That is, both products must be multimode to
multimode.
You are now ready to apply power to the computer.
