• An empty 64-bit PCI-X slot
• The following un ique information that is located on the b ottom of the H BA:
•Serial number
• 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 (WW N )
that
uniquely identifies an HBA in the Fibre Channel environment.
Installation procedure
To install the HBA:
1. Check th
e
motherboard and m ake any necessary configuration changes to accommodate the HBA.
2. Power do
