2 GIGABIT FIBRE CHANNEL HOST BUS ADAPTER

9210IG.book Page 1 Monday, April 2, 2001 11:13 AM

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP provides a 2 gigabit interface

between a server and a Fibre Channel storage system and installs

into a standard PCI slot. The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP optical

and Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LPC copper adapters supports a

high-performance 64-bit and 66 MHz PCI bus (backward

compatible to 32-bit and 33 MHz). The PCI bus provides a high-

speed (up to 528 MBps) path between the system board and the

Fibre Channel adapter. The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP is a PCI

Bus Master device and requires a PCI BusMastering slot that

conforms to the PCI Local Bus Specifications, version 2.2 or

previous versions.

Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP

Locate an unused 64-bit PCI expansion slot and remove the

expansion slot cover. If the computerdoes not have a 64-bit slot,

you can install the card in a 32-bit PCI slot.

Select a PCI expansionslot. Savethe slotcover screw for use in

Step 4.

Computers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots.

Refer to your computer manual to locate the PCI slots. If your

computer is a tower model, place it on its side to make it easier to

install the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP.

STEP 3

Be careful when inserting the Adaptec Fibre Card

9210LP into a PCI slot. Some older 32-bit slots do not

accommodate 64-bit cards, and the card or slot may break if

you use force.

Copper (HSSDC)

STEP 2

For optical Fibre Channel cables, support the cable

so that you do not have a bend radius of less than 3 inches.

For optical and copper Fibre Channel cables,

support and route the cable to prevent damage from sharp

edges or from being crushed by nearby equipment.

Installation Guide

You can verify the adapter and cable installation by powering up

the system and looking at the two LEDs on the bulkhead of the

adapter. Under normal operation, the LEDs operate as follows:

Upon Power-Up

•PWR/ACT LED is on

•LNK LED is off

During Card Initialization by the Host OS

•PWR/ACT LED will flash as Fibre Channel devices are

identified

•LNK LED is off

Once the Card has been Initialized by the Host OS

•PWR/ACT LED will flash at one second intervals

•LNK LED is on if the link is up
