Installation
Features
The Emulex LP10000ExDC host bus adapter offers highly integrated 2Gb/s Fibre Channel
connectivity solutions for enterprise-class storage area networks. The LP10000ExDC is a
new member of the LP10000 family and is designed for use with PCI-Express servers. The
LP10000ExDC HBA delivers state of the art performance through the use of "Thor",
Emulex’s sixth generation Fibre Channel controller and is a dual channel HBA in a
standard height, half-length card form factor.
The PCI-Express architecture is an open specification designed to address the wide range
of current and future system interconnect requirements. It also defines a flexible, scalable,
high-speed, serial, point-to-point, hot pluggable/hot swappable interconnect that is
software-compatible with PCI.
The PCI-Express architecture allows the LP10000ExDC to use the same drivers and
management tools as the LP10000 host bus adapters for PCI and PCI-X systems.
Emulex’s unique Service Level Interface (SLI) driver architecture, which enables the
independence of the operating systems device driver from the underlying HBA platform,
will allow OEMs and end users to migrate to this new system architecture seamlessly
(without having to change or rewrite drivers utilities and other management tools).
Emulex’s firmware-based architecture, which allows for new features and other upgrades
without costly changes to the adapter hardware, provides the kind of technical flexibility
and investment protection that is critical when working with new and evolving technology.

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 constant 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.
The device ID jumpers are used in custom applications. Do not change the jumper settings
for a standard Emulex installation.
The HBA has two pairs of jumper blocks that control the HBA's device ID. You change the
HBA's device ID by changing the jumper settings. P0_JX1 & P0_JX2 control the device ID
for Port 0, and P1_JX1 & P1_JX2 control the device ID for Port 1. The default device ID for
both ports is FA00.

Install the Host Bus Adapter Board
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 constant 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.
1. Record IEEE and serial numbers.
Each host bus adapter is shipped with a unique 64-bit identifier called the IEEE
address. The Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived
from the IEEE address, and this number is needed for Fibre Channel connectivity.
Since this adapter has two ports, there are two IEEE addresses. The IEEE address
is used when configuring your system. The serial number is used when
communicating with Emulex. All numbers are clearly marked on the board. We
recommend that you record these numbers before installation.
2. Turn off and unplug the computer.
3. Remove the computer case.
Note For best I/O performance, place the adapter into
an empty PCI Express 1.0a compliant slot that is
capable of running in x4 link width.
4. Remove the blank panel from an empty 4x, 8x or 16x PCI-Express bus slot.
5. Insert the host bus adapter into the empty PCI Express slot. Press firmly until the
adapter is seated.
6. Secure the host bus adapter's mounting bracket to the case with the panel screw
or clip.
7. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
The host bus adapter is now installed in the PC and is ready for media attachment.

In the United States, all optical GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor
transceivers sold by Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser products that conform to
the requirements contained in the Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) regulation 21 CFR subchapter J. The certification is indicated by a label
located on the optical GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or small form factor transceiver.
In Europe, all optical GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor transceivers sold by
Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser component assemblies that conform to the
requirements contained in the CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical
Standardization) standard EN60825-1:1994 (including amendment 11) and
EN60825-2:1994. GLMs, GBICs, 1x9 and small form factor transceivers are certified
by a recognized European testing agency and have appropriate markings on the
assembly. The DHHS conformity label and European conformity mark will not be
visible externally once the optical GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or small form factor transceiver is
connected to or inserted in the host adapter and the adapter is installed into a
system.
Labeling Requirements
No caution or danger labels are required for use of the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 or small
form factor transceiver since they are Class 1 laser component assembly. In the U.
S., the only laser safety label required is the DHHS certification label that already
appears on the GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver. In Europe, the
EN60825-1/EN60825-2 standards require that the system-level product has a Class
1 information label permanently attached and clearly visible whenever access to the
GLM, GBIC, 1x9 and small form factor transceiver optical port is possible. Each
Class 1 product shall have affixed an explanatory label bearing the words:
Alternatively, at the discretion of the manufacturer, the same statement may be
included in user information. If a label is used, an example of the IEC Class 1
information label that is suitable for most European countries is shown below. The
label consists of black printing on a white background. Languages represented on

Product Information
GLM
GBIC
1 x 9 Transceiver
Small Form Factor Transceiver
GLM
The optical GLM is a single port communications card. Each communication
port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The
transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor laser diode of gallium
aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs). This material emits in the wavelength range of
770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave and 1270 to 1355 nanometers for long
wave, and are commonly referred to as short wavelength (SW) or long
wavelength (LW) lasers. The discrete laser diodes are classified as Class 3B
laser products. Once they are incorporated into the GLM, the product’s
automatic power control maintains the average power launched into a fiber at
a value below the Class 1 limit.
Note OFC GLMs are found only on the LP6000. Any reference to
OFC or non-OFC products applies only to the LP6000, and not
to other HBA models.
For OFC GLMs (Open Fiber Control) the optical fiber link between two GLM
ports is continuously monitored by the open fiber link detection and laser
safety control system (OFC). In the event of a break anywhere in the path,
this control system prevents laser emissions from exceeding Class 1 levels.
For non-OFC links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is controlled
and maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted from either an
open fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1
limit. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. No user
maintenance, service operations or adjustments can be performed on any
GLM accessory.

18

GBIC
The optical GBIC is an integrated duplex data link for bi-directional
communications over multimode or single mode optical fiber. Each GBIC
consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter
subassembly contains a semiconductor laser emitting in the wavelength
range of 770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave length GBICs and 1270 to
1355 nanometers for long wavelength GBICs. For non-OFC links, the optical
power from the laser transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower
power level. The power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser
transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser
products are not considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service
operations or adjustments can be performed the GBIC.
Small Form Factor Transceiver
The small form factor transceiver is an integrated duplex data link for bi-
directional communications over multimode or single mode optical fiber.
Each small form factor transceiver consists of a transmitter and receiver
optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor
laser emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers for
shortwave length small form factor transceivers and 1270 to 1355
nanometers for long wavelength small form factor transceivers. For non-OFC
links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is controlled and
maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted from either an open
fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit.
Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. No user maintenance,
service operations or adjustments can be performed the small form factor
transceiver.
1x9 Transceiver
The 1x9 transceivers is an integrated duplex data link for bi-directional
communications over multimode fiber. Each 1x9 consists of a transmitter and
receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a
semiconductor laser emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860
nanometers for shortwave 1x9s. For non-OFC links, the optical power from
the laser transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower power level. The
power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser transmitter is
guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser products are not
considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service operations or
adjustments can be performed the 1x9 transceiver.

Usage Restrictions
Failure to comply with these usage restrictions may result in incorrect operation of
the system and could possible lead to points of access that may emit laser radiation
levels above the Class 1 limits established in the U. S. by the DHHS and within
Europe by EN60825-1/EN60825-2.
GLM

Small Form Factor Transceiver
GLM
The GLM is designed and certified for applications using point-to-point optical fiber
links only. Use of the product with multiple input or multiple output optical links (for
example, star couplers) is prohibited since it is incompatible with the GLM’s
certification.
The GLM will not allow normal data transmission on the optical link unless it is
connected to another similar GLM or compatible laser product. For OFC GLMs,
another manufacturer’s laser product is not considered compatible unless it contains
the open fiber link detection and laser safety control system (OFC) and is properly
certified as a Class 1 laser product. Similarly, for non-OFC GLMs, a compatible
laser device must be non-OFC.
Any system level product that incorporates the GLM must provide power supply
protection that guarantees a voltage of 6.0 volts or less at the GLM. The functional
power supply range of the GLM product is specified as 4.75 to 5.25 volts typically.
Operation outside of this range may degrade the performance and lifetime of the
GLM. The GLM will remain operational with laser emissions below Class 1 limits
provided the power supply level at the adapter remains at or below 6.0 volts. If the
power supply level rises above 6.0 volts, the GLM cannot be guaranteed to operate
correctly and could result in laser emissions that may exceed Class 1 limits.
GBIC
Short wavelength and long wavelength GBICs allow normal data transmission on
the optical link when they are connected to another compatible laser product. Short
wavelength and long wavelength GBICs sold by Emulex as accessories are non-
OFC devices. For non-OFC links, a compatible laser device must be non-OFC and
