Safety Information
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit
and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible
shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or
station protectors for communications lines.

Laser Safety Information
All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for class
1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition
1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and
approval information.
CAUTION:
All laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation above a
class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions. Data
processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules
that operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an
optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the
inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.

Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid damage, keep this
device in its anti-static protective bag until you are ready to install it. To reduce the possibility of
electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed below:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or other printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
v While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit
for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body).
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it down. If
it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its static-protective package. (If your device is an
adapter, place it component-side up). Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal
table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces indoor humidity
and increases static electricity.

8 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter Installation and Using Guide

Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver Software on an
RS/6000 SP System
This chapter explains how to install the device driver on an AIX SP system on which AIX is already
installed.
Note: If the adapter was installed prior to the installation of the AIX operating system, do not continue with
this section. The device driver software was automatically installed with AIX. Proceed to “Verifying
the Installation” on page 15.
Installing device drivers in an SP system is complicated by two factors. First, the SP nodes normally do
not have CD-ROM or diskette devices. Secondly, it is often necessary, or at least desirable, to install the
device drivers on multiple nodes.
v To overcome the first problem, place the installable images on the SP system’s control workstation, and
then install them on the target nodes from there.
v To overcome the second problem, use the dsh (distributed shell) command, which enables the
execution of commands on multiple nodes simultaneously. This provides significant advantage over
using telnet or rlogin to install the device drivers on a node-by-node basis. Refer to the Parallel System
Support Program for AIX Administration Guide, order number GC23-3897 or PSSP: Command and
Technical Reference, order number GC23-3900 for details on using the dsh command.
Note: To use the dsh command, the Kerberos ticket for the SP system must be current. If you are unsure
whether the Kerberos ticket is current, consult the system administrator for the system on which the
installation is to occur.
To complete the installation of the device drivers on the node(s) of an SP system, perform the following
steps:
1. Set up for the dsh command, that is, set up the working collective file in the control workstation.
2. Check prerequisites on the system nodes by using the dsh command.
3. Create an installable device driver image on the control workstation.
4. Install the device drivers on the system nodes by using the dsh command.
If the site setup precludes the use of the dsh command, install the device drivers on each node
individually. To do so, telnet to each node and perform the steps in the various procedure sections below,
omitting the dsh prefix. If only a few nodes are involved, you can use the dsh command without using the
working collective file. Use the -w option to include the node names within the command. For example, to
determine the AIX level on three nodes, run the following command:
dsh -w [nodename1,nodename2,nodename3] oslevel
where the actual node names are substituted for [nodename1], [nodename2], and [nodename3].
Note: In the following instructions, brackets are used to indicate that the user must supply actual values
for input, or that the system will supply actual values for output.
Proceed with the device driver installation, starting with “Setting Up and Checking System Prerequisites”
on page 10 and perform the following tasks on the control workstation.
9

Setting Up and Checking System Prerequisites
Each Fibre Channel adapter requires a different device driver. To determine the correct device driver for
your adapter, see the following table.
Adapter Device Driver
Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (FC 6227, Type 4-S) devices.pci.df1000f7
2 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter for 64-bit PCI Bus (FC 6228, Type 4-W) devices.pci.df1000f9
2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter (FC 6239, Type 5704) devices.pci.df1080f9
Do the following to check system prerequisites:
1. Log in to the control workstation as root user.
2. If there are several nodes involved, and you are going to use the dsh command with a working
collective file, perform the following steps:
a. Go to a temporary directory by typing:
cd /tmp
Press Enter.
b. Create the working collective file containing a list of the relevant nodes on which to perform the
update in preparation for the dsh command.
Type the following commands on the AIX command line (substituting actual node names for each
[nodenameN]). Press Enter after each line:
cat >group1
[nodename1]
[nodename2]
[nodename3]
.
[nodenameN]
CTRL-D
export WCOLL=/tmp/group1
c. Test the working collective file by typing:
dsh date
Press Enter. The results should include a line for each node in the list, where [nodename1 - N] will
be the actual node names, and should be similar to:
[nodename1]: Wed Nov 10 10:37:46 EST 1999
[nodename2]: Wed Nov 10 10:37:46 EST 1999
[nodename3]: Wed Nov 10 10:37:47 EST 1999
.
[nodenameN]: Wed Nov 10 10:37:48 EST 1999
If the list does not include all (and only) the required system nodes, examine the group1 file you
created in step 2b to ensure that it contains the correct and complete list.
3. Determine if the AIX operating system on each relevant node is at the required level by typing:
dsh oslevel
OR
without the working collective file
dsh -w [nodename1,nodename2,nodename3] oslevel
where the actual node names are substituted for [nodename1, 2, and 3]. Press Enter.
See “Software Requirements” on page 3 for AIX level requirements for the adapter you are installing. If
the nodes are not at a supported AIX level, upgrade the AIX level on the nodes. Contact the system
administrator for assistance.
4. Determine if the PSSP level on the system is at the required level by typing:
