Installation

Caution Emulex LightPulse Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) contain

electronic components that can be damaged by static

electricity through an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event. To

prevent ESD damage, maintain frequent contact with any

grounded metal surface. A grounding wrist strap is useful for

this purpose. Handle the card carefully at all times and

preferably by the edges. Avoid touching electronic

components and keep the card in the original packaging until

you are ready for installation.

Set Jumpers

The host adapter has two jumper blocks (JX1, JX2) that control the host adapter's

device ID. The default Device ID is F800.

Device ID Jumper Setting

F800 JX1:1−2, JX2:2−3

F801 JX1:2−3, JX2:1−2

1AE5 JX1:2−3, JX2:2−3

Install Host Bus Adapter Board

Record IEEE address and serial number.

Each host adapter is shipped with a unique address identifier called the

IEEE address. The Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name

(WWN) derived from the IEEE address, and this number is need for

arbitrated loop connectivity. The serial number is used when

communicating with Emulex. Both numbers are clearly marked on the

board. We recommend that you record these numbers before installation.

Turn off and unplug the computer.2. Remove the computer case.3. Remove the blank panel from an empty 32− or 64−bit PCI bus slot.4. Insert host adapter board into the empty 32− or 64−bit PCI bus slot.

Press firmly until the board is seated.

Secure the host adapter's mounting bracket to the case with the panel

screw.

Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.7.

The host adapter is now installed in the PC and is ready for media attachment.

Change the GBIC Connector

A GBIC, or Gigabit Interface Converter, is a connector that offers a flexible

choice of copper or fiber optic media. A GBIC supports either short wave or long

wave optical transmission. These types are available:

Short−wave fiber optic GBIC with dual SC connectors• Long−wave fiber optic GBIC with dual SC connectors• Copper GBIC with DB9 connector•

Caution An Emulex supplied GBIC is required to maintain regulatory

compliance with worldwide certifications (for example, FCC,

C−Tick, CE, and so on).

A GBIC should be matched with its cabling to obtain optimum performance and

distance. For example, a short wave fiber optic GBIC best supports either

62.5/125 or 50/125 multimode cable, while a long wave fiber optic GBIC

functions best with 9/125 single mode cable.

To change a GBIC:

Exert slight pressure on the tabs.1. Gently pull out the GBIC as shown.2. Slide in a new GBIC, pressing firmly to seat the GBIC into the board.3.

Attach Media

Attach fibre optic or copper cable to the host bus adapter.

Attach Fiber Optic Cable (Multi/Single Mode)

Note The host adapter will not allow normal data transmission on

an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or

compatible laser product (that is, multimode to multimode.)

Use fiber optic cable supporting a data rate of 1.0625 Gb/s for short−wave and

long−wave lasers, that adheres to the following specifications:

Fiber Optic Cable Maximum

Length Minimum

Length Connector

62.5/125 µm

(multimode) 175 meters 2 meters Dual SC

50/125 µm (multimode) 500 meters 2 meters Dual SC

9/125 µm (single mode) 10,000 meters 2 meters Dual SC

Connect the fiber optic cable to the dual SC connector on the host

adapter board as shown.

Connect the other end of the cable to the Fibre Channel device.2.

After the media is connected to the host adapter, you are ready to apply power to

the computer.

Attach Copper Duuplex Cable

Use copper Twinax or Quad Axial cable that adheres to the following

secifications:

Cable Type Maximum Length Data Rate Connector

Twinax or Quad Axial 30 meters 1.0625 Gb/s DB9

Connect the copper duplex cable to the DB9 connector on the host

adapter board as shown.

Connect the other end of the cable to the Fibre Channel device.2.

After the media is connected to the host adapter, you are ready to apply power to

the computer.
