•Environmentalspecifications, page 12
• Physical specifications, page 13
• Media specifications, page 13
Performance specifications
TheHBAsare4.25gigabitpersecond(Gb/s),FibreChannelPCIeHBAs. TheHBAs’FCcontroller
incorporates a multifunction native PCI Express (PCIe) core that is compliant to the PCIe Base Specification
1.0a and PCI Express CEM Specification 1.0a. The HBAs support packet transfers up to 2048 bytes on
thePCIelin
k with support for x1 or x4 lane negotiation. The supported physical PCIe connector is
x4, x8, or x16.
The PCI-Express architecture is an open specification designed to address the wide range of current
and future system interconnection requirements. It also defines a flexible, scalable, high-speed, serial,
point-to-point, hot pluggable/hot swappable interconnect that is software-compatible with PCI. This
architecture allows the HBAs to use the same drivers and management tools as the HBAs for PCI and
PCI-X systems.

2 Installing the HBAs
This chapter describes the following topics for installing the HBAs:
• Installation prerequisites, page 15
• "Installing the HBA" on page 16
See your server’s documentation for additional information about installing the HBA.
WARNING!
Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the HBA. To reduce the risk of personal injury
from hot surfaces, allow the internal server or workstation components to cool before touching.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded
before beginning this procedure as described in "Regulatory compliance and safety" on page 27.
Installation prerequisites
Beforeyoubegin,makesureyouhavethefollowing:
• An optical multimode cable with an LC-style duplex connector
• A system with a x4, x8, or x16 PCIe slot
NOTE:
The HBAs do not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless they are connected to
another similar or compatible laser product (that is, multimode to multimode).

Figure 2 shows the LEDs that are referenced later in this document for the A8002A and A8003A HBAs.
Figure 2 LED location
Recording reference numbers
Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier that is stored in flash memory. Fibre Channel industry
standards issue two unique identifiers:worldwideportname(WWPN)andworldwidenodename
(WWNN), each of which is derived from the HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and WWNN
create the worldwidename(WWN),whichisan8-byteidentifier that uniquely identifies an HBA
on an FC circuit. The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record the
addresses on the lines below for future reference.
In addition, each HBA has a unique serial number that is located on the bottom of the HBA. Check the
HBA and record its serial number so that you have the number in the unlikely event that the NVRAM is
corrupted.
NOTE:
The WWN is a static identifier that cannot be changed.
WWN address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: __________________________________________________
Installing the HBA
Use the following procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
CAUTION:
Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure as described in "Regulatory compliance
and safety" on page 27.
1. Make sure the computer is powered off.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.
3. Wearing an anti-static wrist strap, remove the blank panel from an empty x4, x8, or x16 PCIe bus slot.
NOTE:
The HBA comes with a standard PCI bracket installed. A low-profile bracket is included
in the box with the HBA. The low-profile mounting bracket is shorter than the standard
bracket: approxi mately 7.9 c m (3.11 in.) compared to 12.06 c m (4 .75 i n.) long.
16 Installing the HBAs

4. Change the bracket as follows if you require a different mounting bracket. Otherwise, go to Step 5.
a. Remove the mounting bracket screws from the top of the HBA.
b. Remove the bracket and store it for future use.
c. Align the new mounting bracket tabs with the holes in the HBA.
NOTE:
Be careful not to push the bracket past the transceiver housing’s grounding tabs. Make
sure the light emitting diodes (LEDs) are properly aligned with the holes in the bracket.
d. Replace the screws that attach the HBA to the bracket.
5. Insert the HBA into the empty PCIe slot. Press firmly until the HBA is seated.
NOTE:
Some HP server models support only PCIe HBAs inserted in optional PCIe riser cards
or cages. For instructions about installing the riser card or cage, see your server
documentation.
6. Secure the HBA’s mounting bracket to the case with the panel clip.
7. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
8. Attach media:
a. Connect the fiber optic cable to the LC connector on the HBA.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to the Fibre Channel device.
NOTE:
The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless the link
is connected to a similar or compatible laser product. That is, both products must
be multimode.
You are now ready to apply power to the computer.
9. Apply the power:
a. Verify that the HBA is securely installed in the computer.
b. Verify that the correct media is attached.
c. Plug in and turn on the computer.
d. ObserveLEDsforPowerOnSelfTest(POST)results.
See "POST conditions and results" on page 23 for information about the LED indicators.

3 Installing the Linux driver
This chapter describes how to install the Linux lpfc driver for the HBAs on an already installed Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (Red Hat EL) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) operating system. It includes the
following topics:
• Prerequisites, page 19
• Installing the Linux driver,page19
Prerequisites
Perform the following tasks before you install the driver:
• Prior to installing or updating drivers, obtain the latest HP StorageWorks Emulex host bus
adapters for Itanium Linux and Windows release notes,whichareavailablefromtheHPwebsite:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html.
• Obtain the driver kit with the latest RPM and driver from the HP web site:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html.
NOTE:
To install the driver, you must use the hp-lpfc RPMs in the driver kit.
• Be familiar with the operating system under which the HBA is to operate, and have access
to standard system documentation.
Installing the Linux driver
This section describes how to install the Linux lpfc driver.
Note the following about the lpfc driver:
• HP does not support building the lpfc driver from source code.
• The driver versions for kernel-based distributions are as follows:
• Driver7.x.xforthe2.4kernel
