Hardware Installation and Removal

This chapter describes how to install and remove the HBA. Refer to your system installation or

service manual for detailed instructions.

This chapter contains the following topics:

■

“Observing ESD and Handling Precautions” on page 17

■

“Installing the Hardware” on page 17

■

“Testing the Installation” on page 21

■

“Replacing the SFP+ Unit on the HBA” on page 27

■

“Removing the Hardware” on page 27

Observing ESD and Handling Precautions

Caution - Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of careless handling or electrostatic

discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to electrostatic sensitive

components.

To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, use both a workstation antistatic mat

and an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store.

Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:

■

Leave the HBA in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.

■

Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection

when handling the HBA and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.

■

Hold the HBA by the edge of the PCB, not the connectors.

■

Place the HBA on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out of its

protective antistatic bag.

Installing the Hardware

Follow the procedures in this section to install the hardware:

“To Install the HBA” on page 18

■

“To Connect the Optical Cable” on page 19

■

“To Apply Power” on page 20

To Install the HBA

Attach an ESD wrist strap (see “Observing ESD and Handling

Precautions” on page 17).

Refer to your system installation or service manual to determine an appropriate

PCI-Express slot in which to install the HBA.

Shut down, power off, and unplug the system, if required.

Remove the system case.

Remove the blank panel from an empty PCI-Express slot.

(Optional) Perform the following steps to replace the PCI bracket.

Note - The HBA comes 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 SFP(s), if installed.

b.

Remove the mounting bracket screws from the HBA (see Figure 2-1).

FIGURE  2-1

Removing the Bracket Screws

c.

Remove the bracket and store it for future use.

d.

Align the new mounting bracket tabs with the holes in the HBA.

To Connect the Optical Cable

Chapter2 • Hardware Installation and Removal 19

Note - Be careful not to push the bracket past the grounding tabs of the transceiver housing.

Ensure that the LEDs are properly aligned with the holes in the bracket.

e.

Replace the screws that attach the HBA to the bracket.

f.

Reinstall the SFP(s), if removed in Step 6.a.

Insert the HBA into the empty PCI-Express 8-lane slot.

Press firmly until the HBA is seated.

Secure the mounting bracket of the HBA to the case with the panel screw or clip.

10.

Replace the system case and tighten the case screws.

The HBA is now installed and you can connect the optical cables.

To Connect the Optical Cable

Note - The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is

connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel product (that is, multimode to

multimode).

Use multimode fiber-optic cable, intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the

specifications listed in Table 1-1 in Table 1-1.

Connect the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the HBA.

Figure 2-2 shows the single port HBA and Figure 2-3 shows the dual port HBA.
