Section 1 Introduction 1.1 How to Use this Guide The SANblade QLogic host bus adapters (HBAs) supported in this document are described in the following paragraphs; they are collectively referred to as the QLE2360/2362 HBA unless otherwise noted. ■ ■ QLE2360 (single channel, half size, full-height bracket, optical media) QLE2362 (dual channel, half size, full-height bracket, optical media) The QLE2360/2362 is a PCI Express to Fibre Channel optical media host adapter.
Q 1 – Introduction Technical Support Fibre Channel supports data transfer rates up to 200 MBps half-duplex and 400 MBps full-duplex on optical interfaces. The QLE2360/2362 HBA uses a multimode optical interface for intermediate distances (less than 500 meters at the data rate of 1 Gbps; less than 300 meters at the data rate of 2 Gbps). With its increased connectivity and performance, Fibre Channel is the I/O technology preferred and used by system designers. 1.

Section 2 QLE2360/2362 2.1 QLE2360/2362 HBA Components Figure 2-1 identifies the QLE2360/2362 HBA components referenced throughout this section. The J2 transceiver and associated LED is only for the dual channel QLE2362. The QLE2360 is single channel; it uses only one of these transceivers. Each QLE2360/2362 HBA has a unique serial number; its location on the HBA is noted in figure 2-1. Take a minute to write down the serial number of the QLE2360/2362 HBA.
Q 2 – QLE2360/2362 Installation in the Computer 2.1.1 LEDs Figure 2-2 identifies and describes the activity of the QLE2360/2362 HBA LEDs. The red LED on the bracket is not used. For more information about the beacon LED activity, see the SANsurfer FC HBA Managers User’s Guide (FS0054601-00).
Q 2 – QLE2360/2362 Installation in the Computer Perform the following steps to install the QLE2360/2362 HBA in your PC: 1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to accommodate the QLE2360/2362 HBA. 2. Power down the peripherals, then the computer. 3. Remove the computer cover and save the screws. 4. Choose any PCI Express bus slot (x4 or higher). NOTE: If you select a slot higher than x4 lane width, make sure that the slot supports x4 or x1 lane widths.
Q 2 – QLE2360/2362 Specifications If the information displayed is not correct and you have checked the QLE2360/2362 HBA’s configuration, see section 3 for troubleshooting information. 2.2.1 Installation Help If your system has an IDE hard disk, it may be assigned device number 80, which is the boot device.
