The host adapter(s) referred to in this User's Guide contain one or more
transceivers that are certified as Class 1 laser products that conform to the
requirements contained in the US Food and Drug Administration - Center for
Devices and Radiological Health (FDA/CDRH) regulation 21 CFR 1040,
Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products and 21 CFR 1010,
Performance Standards for Electronic Products: General.
Internationally, these transceivers are certified as Class 1 laser products that
conform to the requirements contained in the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) standard 825-1 (1993). Class 1 laser products are not
considered to be hazardous based upon current medical knowledge. This class
includes all lasers or laser systems which cannot emit levels of optical radiation
above the exposure limits for the eye under any exposure conditions inherent in
the design of the laser product. The design of the transceivers on this host
adapter is such that access to laser radiation above a Class 1 emission level
during operation, user maintenance, or service conditions is prevented. However,
there may be a laser embedded in the enclosure of the Class 1 laser that is more
hazardous, but harmful radiation cannot escape the intact enclosure. With any
laser, the following precautions should be followed to prevent accidental exposure
to any levels of optical radiation.
CAUTION: Do not look into the transceiver ports, do not view the transceiver
ports with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.
The following certification information is permanently affixed to or inscribed on
the transceiver product so as to be legible and readily accessible to view when
the transceiver is fully assembled for use.

Chapter 1
Installing/Extracting the
LSI7202CP Host Adapter
This chapter describes the installation procedures for the LSI7202CP
CompactPCI Dual Channel 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host adapter. The
main topics are:
•Section 1.1, “Host Adapter Installation,” page 1-1
•Section 1.2, “Extracting the LSI7202CP,” page 1-3
1.1 Host Adapter Installation
This section provides a general overview of the tasks needed to perform
either a hot or cold installation. For the exact procedures required for
your system, refer to the operating system and system documentation.
1.1.1 Cold Installation Preparation
Before shutting down the operating environment and halting the system,
ensure that all significant application activity on the server has stopped.
To prepare the system for a cold installation, follow these steps.
Step 1. Follow the appropriate procedures, as documented in the
system’s service manual, to shut down and halt the system.
Step 2. Refer to the system’s documentation for the complete power
down procedure and location of the power switch.
Step 3. Press the power switch on the system’s status panel to power
down the system.
Step 4. Verify that the system’s power LED is OFF, which indicates that
the system is completely powered off.
After the system has been shut down and powered off, you can
safely install the card.

1.1.2 Hot Installation Preparation
Refer to your system’s hardware user’s manual for complete instructions
regarding hot installation.
1.1.3 Installation
Review your system’s documentation for the complete instructions before
performing the following steps to install the LSI7202CP into your system:
Step 1. Identify the slot number where you want to insert the adapter.
Step 2. Refer to the system’s documentation for instructions on how to
remove the filler panel.
Step 3. Remove the filler panel from the slot you selected.
Step 4. Push on the red release button and open the LSI7202CP card’s
ejection lever before installing the card in the system.
Step 5. Pull back the ejection lever and slide the card into the
CompactPCI slot.
Step 6. Apply even pressure at both corners of the card and push the
card until it is firmly seated in the slot.
Step 7. Push the ejection lever over the sprocket toward the card and
into the locked position. This locks the card into the slot.
Step 8. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screws inside
the card’s ejection lever.
Step 9. Attach the Fibre Channel cable to either Port 0 or Port 1 of the
LSI7202CP. This completes the hardware installation.
Important: Check your system’s documentation for any additional
actions that may be required to configure the system soft-
ware for the newly inserted card.

1.2 Extracting the LSI7202CP
The LSI7202CP is a component that you can extract from a hot-swap
compliant system without interrupting the operation of the system. You
can also extract the adapter if installing it in a cold environment after you
power down the system.
You must determine whether you want to perform a cold extraction of the
adapter or a hot extraction. In a cold extraction, you must shut down the
system’s operating system and power down the system before extracting
the adapter. In a hot-swap extraction, you may be required to enter
software commands before and after the extraction to detach the adapter
from the system correctly.
Note : The following procedures provide a general overview of the
tasks needed to prepare for either a hot or cold extraction.
For the specific procedures required for your system, refer
to the documentation that shipped with your system.
1.2.1 Cold Environment Extraction
Before extracting your adapter, ensure that all significant application
activity on the server has stopped. To extract the LSI7202CP, follow
these steps.
Step 1. Refer to the system’s documentation for the complete power
down procedure and location of the power switch.
Step 2. Press the power switch to power down the system.
Step 3. Verify that the system’s power LED is OFF, which indicates that
the system is completely powered off.
Step 4. Extract the LSI7202CP after the system has been shut down
and powered off.
1.2.2 Hot Environment Extraction
Refer to your system’s hardware user’s manual for complete instructions
regarding hot environment extraction.

Chapter 3
BIOS Features
This chapter provides information pertaining to Intel BIOS and Solaris
Fcode and includes these topics:
•Section 3.1, “BIOS Features,” page 3-1
•Section 3.2, “Troubleshooting,” page 3-14
3.1 BIOS Features
A BIOS is the ROM code that is loaded by the system to facilitate booting
from Fibre Channel drives. The BIOS also contains an embedded
configuration manager, used to configure options provided by the
firmware. The LSI Logic BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS,
extending the standard disk service routine provided through INT13h.
Two types of BIOS are available for the LSI7202CP:
•Intel BIOS for Intel-based platforms
•Fcode for Solaris SPARC platforms.
Both Intel BIOS and Fcode concurrently reside on the boards.
3.1.1 Intel BIOS
This section provides the features, description, and installation of the
Intel Fibre Channel BIOS.
3.1.1.1 Intel BIOS Features
The LSI Logic FC Intel BIOS features support:
•Selection and configuration for up to 256 adapters

3-2 BIOS Features Copyright © 2001, 2002 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.
•Boot device selection from any four host adapters
•Automatic INT13 drive mapping for Fibre Channel drives
3.1.1.2 BIOS Overview
During the boot time initialization, the Intel BIOS determines if there are
other hard disks, such as an IDE drive, already installed by the system
BIOS. If there are, the Intel BIOS maps any Intel drives it finds after the
drive(s) already installed. Otherwise, the Intel BIOS installs drives
starting with the system boot drive. In this case, the system boots from
a drive controlled by the Intel BIOS.
3.1.1.3 Intel BIOS Boot Specification (BBS)
The Intel BIOS provides support for the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS),
which allows you to choose which device to boot from by selecting the
priority.
To use this feature, the system BIOS must also be compatible with the
BBS. If your system supports the BBS, use the system BIOS setup menu
to select the boot and drive order. In the system BIOS setup, the Boot
Connection Devices menu appears with a list of available boot options.
Use that menu to select the device and rearrange the order. Then exit to
continue the boot process.
3.1.2 Starting the Intel BIOS Configuration Utility
The LSI Logic Intel BIOS allows you to change the default configuration
of your host adapters, using the embedded BIOS Configuration Utility.
When the BIOS loads, the following message appears on your monitor:
Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility...
This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you
time to start the utility. After you press Ctrl-C, the message changes to:
Please wait, invoking LSI Logic Configuration Utility...
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main menu of the
BIOS Configuration Utility.
