Emulex Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters Installation Guide Chapter 1: Introduction This installation guide describes how to install an Emulex® FC HBA. NOTE: Illustrations in this guide are examples only. The actual hardware might vary. Figure 1: Two-Port HBA Figure 2: Single-Port HBA 1.1 HBA Identification Each HBA ships with several numbers clearly marked on the board. Record these numbers before installation. IEEE address – An IEEE unique 64-bit identifier used for system configuration.
Emulex Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters Installation Guide Chapter 2: Installation The Emulex HBA can be connected to fiber optic cables (used with embedded optical transceivers). Additional information for these cable connections and other installation procedures are described in the following sections. 2.1 Preparing the HBA for Installation Before installing the HBA, perform one or both of the following procedures: Change the bracket to a low-profile version as explained in Section 2.1.
