Caution: The HBAs contain static-sensitive components.
Installation Hardware Requirements The system hardware requirements for installing the HBAs include: 18 ■ AB232A HBA requires one open 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X universal slot. ■ Multimode fiber optic cable with LC connector, used with shortwave lasers.
Installation 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: WorldWide Port Name (WWPN) and Node Name (NN), each of which is derived from the HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and NN create the WorldWide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte field that uniquely identifies an HBA on a FC circuit. The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA.
Installation Installing the HBA into a Computer Use the following procedure for installing the HBA into a computer. Caution: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions described on page 59 for this procedure. 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 64-bit PCI-X bus slot. Compare the removed panel to the bracket on the HBA.
Installation 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. Note: The HBAs do 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 are multimode to multimode.
Installation Verifying the Installation To verify the HBA is properly installed and is operating: 1. Turn on the computer. 2. At power up, observe the POST LED indicators on the HBA. The position of the POST LED indicators is defined in page 15 on page 15, and Table 2 on page 22 of this guide. The green LED indicates power functions and the amber LED signifies port activity.

Troubleshooting 4 The Power-On Self Test (POST) and the Windows Event Viewer are utilities you can use for troubleshooting the HBA. This chapter explains the use of these utilities in the event of an HBA problem.
Troubleshooting POST Conditions and Results Table 4 lists the HBA LED states with descriptions of each.The position of the POST LED indicators is defined in Figure 1 on page 15, and Table 3 on page 22 of this guide. If the LEDs indicate a failure during POST: 1. Make sure that the HBA is seated firmly in the PCI slot. 2. Verify that the fiber cable connection to the HBA is secure.
Troubleshooting Using The Event Viewer The Windows SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the Windows Event log. Following is the procedure for viewing the event log. From the Main menu: 1. Double-click or choose the Administrative Tools program group. 2. Double-click or choose the Event Viewer. 3. Specify LPXNDS. Note: You can find the source name in the SCSI device’s Disk Manager. 4.
Troubleshooting Windows Miniport Event Log Codes The Windows Miniport driver logs events and errors in the Windows Event log. Serious errors are always logged. Informational events are only logged if the registry parameter LogError=1 is used. All Miniport logged events are issued with an Event ID of 11 (INTERNAL ADAPTER ERROR) but do not necessarily indicate an HBA error occurred. Byte offset 0x10 of the event is the driver event code. Byte offsets 0x11 to 0x13 contain event-specific information.

Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities 5 This chapter contains instructions for using the LightPulse Utility, LpUtilNt, a Windows-based graphical user interface. Use this utility to update firmware, BIOS, view registry parameters, perform persistent binding operations on selected targets, and obtain specific information about all HBAs installed in the server.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Using LightPulse Utility The LightPulse Utility (LpUtilNt) is an HBA utility that lets you: ■ View HBA parameters ■ Modify driver parameters in the Windows registry The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) setup file provided in the software kit sets these parameters. The Fibre Channel setup file that comes with the platform kit, modifies these parameters. The resulting parameter settings provide the optimal setting for your configurations.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities ■ Configuration Data—View information about the data in each of the configuration regions in the flash ROM of the selected HBA. ■ Drive Parameters—View information about device driver parameters that are maintained in the Windows/NT registry. ■ Persistent Binding—View and manage persistent binding for the adapter, and LUN mapping and masking for devices in your SAN. ■ Link Statistics—View statistics about the arbitrated loop of the selected HBA.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Modify Diagnostic Driver Parameters in the Windows Registry This screen provides information about device driver parameters that are maintained in the Windows registry and allows you to modify those values. Caution: Do not modify the registry parameters unless specifically instructed to do so by support personnel. Modifying registry parameters can result in an unstable SAN.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Table 8 lists the current parameters that you can set. Table 8: Drive Parameters Parameter Description AbortStatus = 0xn Values from 0x00 – 0xFF. Controls NT SRB error status for general Abort conditions. Default = SRB_STATUS_BUS_RESET (0x0E) which will not cause the current NT class driver to throttle down I/O performance after four of these errors have been received (on a per-LUN basis). ALTOV = n Values are in milliseconds from 1 to 15. Default = 15.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Table 8: Drive Parameters (Continued) Parameter 42 Description QueueDepth = n Values from 1–64 (decimal). Default = 64. Requests per LUN/Target (see Queue Target parameter). QueueTarget = n Values 0 or 1 (decimal). Default = 0. 0 = QueueDepth applies on a per LUN basis: 1 = QueueDepth applies on a Target basis. RATOV = n Values are in seconds from 2 to 120. Default = 2. This value is the ELS request time-out. ReadCheck = n Values 0 or 1. Default = 1.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Table 8: Drive Parameters (Continued) Parameter Description SilFlags = n Values from 0-2. Default = 0. Controls which driver interface to use. 0 = automode; attempt SLI-2 first. If that fails, uses SLI-1. 1 = always use SLI-1. 2 = always use SLI-2. SimulateDevice = n Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 0 = do not create a “dummy” disk device. 1 = create a dummy disk to force the driver to load even if no disk devices are present at boot time. SnsALL = n Values 0 or 1.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Table 9 lists the Arbitrated Loop Physical Addresses (AL-PA) you can set.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Persistent binding permanently maps a device to the following: ■ Binding type World Wide Port Name (WWPN), World Wide Node Name (WWNN), or a Destination Identifier (D_ID) ■ SCSI bus ■ SCSI ID ■ Installed Miniport driver with the adjunct driver ■ Installed LightPulse Utility ■ Global Automap All Targets is enabled.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Global Automap and Unmasking Overview Global Automap All Targets defaults to enabled, to allow the driver to detect all Fibre Channel devices attached to the HBAs. If Global Automap All Targets is disabled, the driver detects Fibre Channel devices attached to the HBA, and does not pass them to the operating system unless they are already persistently bound.
