1 Introduction Audience for this Manual This guide is intended for network administrators, maintenance engineers or qualified personnel who maintain and/or update servers. Since installing this Adapter involves both hardware and software installation functions, it is important that the person installing the adapter is familiar with performing such tasks as installing PCI cards, connecting cables, and installing software drivers.
• Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) • A Hewlett-Packard Navigator CD containing the available adapter driver(s) • A documentation CD containing the Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Installation Guide • This installation guide What Is Needed Besides the Adapter Besides the Fibre Channel HBA, you will need the following: • A GBIC module supported by the Fibre Channel HBA • A fibre channel cable, either optical or copper • A fibre channel device (such as the Fibre Channel Hub) to connect to the GBIC module
Figure 1-1. 32/64 bit PCI, 33 MHz PCI, 1 Gbit The HP Fibre Channel Adapter installs into a standard PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot. This adapter supports a high performance 64-bit PCI bus (backward compatible to 32-bit) with multiplexed address and data lines, and parity information. The PCI bus provides a high speed (up to 264/132 Megabytes/sec) path between the system board and the Fibre Channel Adapter.
System Requirements Windows NT Systems The following items are required when you install the HP Fibre Channel Adapter into a Windows NT system: • A Pentium or higher system with PCI local bus • Windows NT 4.
2 Installation Overview Before installing the Adapter in your server, make sure that the system is powered down and that you follow ESD procedures to reduce the risk of damage to the Adapter or the server electronics. See Appendix A regarding ESD information. Installing Adapter in PCI Slot Install the Adapter in any standard PCI slot. The following generalized installation steps pertain to most PCI installations.
Figure 2-1. Installing Adapter GBIC Overview A GBIC converts internal electrical signals to external electrical or optical signals for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The Fibre Channel cable inserts into the connector of the GBIC module. There are several types of GBIC modules currently available that can be used in the D8602B Fibre Channel Adapter. GBICs are “hot pluggable,” which means they can be plugged into, or pulled out of the Adapter while the power is applied.
CAUTION Inserting a passive GBIC without Fibre Channel device/ hub attached will cause an open loop condition. This open loop condition will prevent devices attached to the internal HSSDC connector from functioning. To avoid this situation, avoid inserting the passive GBIC until external Fibre Channel devices are attached to the passive GBIC. Installing the GBIC Select the type of GBIC module that is compatible with your system. • Install the GBIC into the receptacle on the Adapter.
Connecting Cables 1. If you are using an optical GBIC module, remove the dust plug covers protecting the optical connectors before inserting the fibre-channel cable. Save the dust plug covers for future use. 2. Select the correct cable that matches the GBIC you installed and install the end connectors into the GBIC. The GBIC and Fibre Channel cable are keyed, so they can only fit one way. Refer to Figure 2-3. on page 8 for optical cable connection and Figure 2-4. on page 9 for copper cable connection. 3.
Figure 2-4. Copper Cable Connector Removing the GBIC To remove the GBIC, follow these steps: 1. Remove the Fibre Channel cable. (a) If you are using the HSSDC Copper Cable, squeeze the tab to remove. (See Figure 2-6. on page 10.) 2. (a) If you are using an optical GBIC, flip the bar of the GBIC to the “OPEN” position and pull to remove. (See Figure 2-5. on page 10.) (b) If you are using the HSSDC Copper GBIC, squeeze the tabs on both sides of the GBIC. (See Figure 2-6. on page 10.) 3.
Figure 2-5. Removing the Optical GBIC Module Figure 2-6. Removing the HSSDC Copper GBIC Module Verifying the Adapter You can verify the Adapter and cable installation by powering up the system and looking at the two LEDs on the bulkhead of the adapter. See Figure 2-7. on page 11.
Upon Power-up: • PWR / ACT LED is ON • LINK LED is OFF During Card initialization by the Host OS: • PWR / ACT LED will flash as Fibre Channel devices are identified • LINK LED is OFF Once the card has been initialized by the Host OS: • PWR / ACT LED will flash at approximately 1 second intervals • LINK LED is on if the link is up Figure 2-7.

3 Windows NT Driver Installation NOTE Check this worldwide web address to ensure that you have the latest version of the Windows NT driver: http://netserver.hp.com/netserver/ If it is a newer version than the one on the supplied HP Navigator CD, download it and use it instead of the earlier driver. Overview Before installing the Fibre Channel Adapter driver, the Windows NT system should be up and running. The HP Navigator CD contains the fibre channel HBA drivers.
4. From the Settings menu, select Control Panel. 5. From the Control Panel window, select SCSI Adapters. 6. From the SCSI Adapter window, select Drivers. 7. From the Drivers window, select Add. 8. Select Have Disk. 9. From the floppy disk drive (path, A:\WINNT), select Agilent PCI Fibre Channel Controller (NT 4.0). 10. Press OK. 11. When the installation is complete, remove the diskette, shut down Windows NT, and reboot the system to load the driver.
4 Windows 2000 Driver Installation NOTE Check this worldwide web address to ensure that you have the latest version of the Windows 2000 driver: http://netserver.hp.com/netserver/ If it is a newer version than the one on the supplied HP Navigator CD, download it and use it instead of the earlier driver. Overview Before installing the Fibre Channel Adapter driver, the Windows 2000 system should be up and running. The HP Navigator CD contains the fibre channel HBA drivers.
During installation select the “HHBA-510X PCI Fibre Channel Controller”. Please review the Readme file for details. Removing the Driver To uninstall the HP Fibre Channel board: 1. Turn off your system and remove the HP Fibre Channel board from your computer. 2. Once you reboot the system, Windows 2000 will recognize that the HP Fibre Channel board has been removed. Additional Notes 1.
5 NetWare Driver Loading NOTE Check this worldwide web address to ensure that you have the latest version of the NetWare driver: http://netserver.hp.com/netserver/ If it is a newer version than the one on the supplied HP Navigator CD, download it and use it instead of the earlier version. Overview Before loading the HP NetWare Fibre Channel Adapter driver, verify that the programs “NWPA.NLM” and “SCSIHD.CDM” are loaded on your system.
NOTE The driver can either be installed from the hard drive or floppy diskette. For driver installation from the hard drive, copy the driver file to the server boot up directory under DOS, and specify the complete device path when typing the instruction below. For installation from the floppy diskette, continue with instructions as specified below. 2. Switch to the Command Console and type: LOAD A: \AFCNW.HAM The driver starts loading, and the display shows the slot number that the Adapter is in.
Unloading the Driver For removing or updating the driver, perform the following steps: NOTE The old driver must be removed before installing the new one. 1. Confirm that there is no Fibre Channel activity occurring by dismounting the drive. 2. Switch to the Command Console 3. To dismount the drive, Type: Dismount volume_name NOTE The volume_name is the volume that the user has created. If more than one volume needs to be dismounted, perform the dismount command for each individual volume. 4.

6 PCI Hot Plug Support PCI Hot Plug involves the insertion and removal of PCI adapters from a system without interrupting the normal operation or powering down the whole system. PCI Hot Plug functions by disabling power to PCI slots where PCI Hot Plug capable adapters will be inserted or removed. To provide PCI Hot Plug functionality, the system hardware and software, the installed operating system, and the device driver for the PCI adapter must all support the PCI Hot Plug capability.

A Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the adapter. Preventing Electrostatic Damage To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: • Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers, such as anti-static bags.
