copper cable
•A server with an empty x8 PCIe bus slot
WARNING: Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the CNA.
Recording reference numbers
The CNA ships with the IEEE address (Port 1 MAC address) clearly marked on the board.
The MAC address is a unique, 48-bit identifier for configuring the system. The Fibre Channel industry
uses the WWN derived from the MAC address for Fibre Channel connectivity. The MAC addresses are
permanent identifiers that cannot be changed.
The CNA has two ports, so it has two MAC addresses and two WWNs, one for each port. Use the serial
number when communicating with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Determine and record the serial number,
MAC addresses, and WWNs before installation.

Electrostatic discharge 16
Electrostatic discharge
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of
the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:
•Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic
discharge
Several methods are used for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
•Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10 percent resistance in the ground cords.
To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
•Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
•Use conductive field service tools.
•Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized reseller
install the part.
For more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact an authorized
reseller.

Customer Self Repair
Hewlett Packard Enterprise products are designed with many Customer Self Repair (CSR) parts to
minimize repair time and allow for greater flexibility in performing defective parts replacement. If during
the diagnosis period Hewlett Packard Enterprise (or Hewlett Packard Enterprise service providers or
service partners) identifies that the repair can be accomplished by the use of a CSR part, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise will ship that part directly to you for replacement. There are two categories of CSR parts:
•Mandatory—Parts for which customer self repair is mandatory. If you request Hewlett Packard
Enterprise to replace these parts, you will be charged for the travel and labor costs of this service.
•Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for
customer self repair. If, however, you require that Hewlett Packard Enterprise replace them for you,
there may or may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated
for your product.
NOTE: Some Hewlett Packard Enterprise parts are not designed for customer self repair. In order to
satisfy the customer warranty, Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires that an authorized service provider
replace the part. These parts are identified as "No" in the Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Based on availability and where geography permits, CSR parts will be shipped for next business day
delivery. Same day or four-hour delivery may be offered at an additional charge where geography
permits. If assistance is required, you can call the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center and a
technician will help you over the telephone. Hewlett Packard Enterprise specifies in the materials shipped
with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. In
cases where it is required to return the defective part to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, you must ship the
defective part back to Hewlett Packard Enterprise within a defined period of time, normally five (5)
business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided
shipping material. Failure to return the defective part may result in Hewlett Packard Enterprise billing you
for the replacement. With a customer self repair, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will pay all shipping and part
return costs and determine the courier/carrier to be used.
For more information about the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR program, contact your local service
provider. For the North American program, go to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSR website
(http://www.hpe.com/support/selfrepair).
