Performance specifications
The FCA2684/FCA2684DC PCI-X host bus adapter offers a highly integrated 2
Gbps Fibre Channel HBA for use in servers based on either PCI or the latest
PCI-X expansion bus. The features of this PCI-X based HBA provide the
flexibility and broad interoperability needed for complex, highly scalable SANs.
The FCA2684/FCA2684DC also features sophisticated hardware that provides
superior performance in SANs and provides best in class server CPU off load.
This exclusive hardware delivers low latency and high throughput in switched
fabric, arbitrated loop, and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling
is provided through an embedded small form factor (LC) optical interface.
The FCA2684 is a single channel HBA in a low-profile PCI compliant card
format. The FCA2684DC is a dual channel HBA. These HBAs are both ANSI
Fibre Channel and PCI Local Bus Compliant and support:
■Full duplex 2 Gbps Fibre Channel delivering up to 400MB/s
■Superior transaction processing performance
■Automatic speed negotiation
■Automatic topology detection
■Full fabric support using F_Port and FL_port connections
■Onboard hardware context cache for superior fabric performance
■Support for use of multiple concurrent protocols (SCSI and IP for OpenVMS
only)
■Full support for both FC service class 2 and 3
■Support for FC-Tape (FCP-2) devices
■66/100/133 MHz PCI-X 1.0a and PCI 2.3 compatibility
■End-to-end parity protection for high data integrity
■3.3V signaling, 5V tolerant
■Optical small form factor (LC) interface

Recording reference numbers
Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier called the IEEE address. The
Fibre Channel industry standards use a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from
the IEEE address. You need this number for Fibre Channel connectivity as well as
for configuring your system.
The serial number is used when you communicate with HP about your HBA.
The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record the
addresses on the lines below for future reference.
IEEE address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: __________________________________________________

Installing the HBA into a computer
Following is the procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
WARNING: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure as
described in “Electrostatic Discharge” on page 41.
1. Make sure the computer is powered off.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.
3. Wearing a static wrist strap, remove the blank panel from an empty 32- or
64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus slot.
Compare the removed panel to the bracket on the host bus adapter. Follow
steps 4–7 to change the bracket if they are different sizes.
4. Remove the mounting bracket screws from the top of the host bus adapter.
5. Remove the bracket and store it for future use.
6. Using the bracket on the HBA, 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.
7. Replace the screws that attach the HBA to the bracket.
8. Insert the HBA into the empty PCI or PCI-X bus slot; press firmly until it is
seated securely.
9. Secure the HBA mounting bracket to the computer panel with the panel
screws.
10. Replace the computer cover and secure it using the previously removed
screws.
11. 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.
