AH400A/AH401A - HP PCIe 8Gb 1 port, 2 port, and 4Gb Fibre Channel QLogic HBAs using Linux, Windows, and HP-UX OS's Installation Guide, October 2008

Installing the host bus adapter
1. Access the system's IO slots.
• If the system is running, enter the following command to shut it down:
# shutdown -h
Enter y when prompted to continue.
• Wait for the system to shut down completely and then power off the system by pressing
the system OFF button.
• Do not disconnect power cord to ensure the system is grounded.
• Remove system cover to expose and access the PCI card slots.
NOTE: HP recommends the supported PCI-e slots (slot 5 and slot 6) when inserting
an HBA into an HP Integrity rx3600 or HP Integrity rx6600 server.
There are limitations considering slot 3 and slot 4 in these same servers. A Customer

2. Install the HBA card.
• Insert the adapter's edge connector firmly into the PCI-e slot until it's seated.
• Secure the card and reassemble the system.
Attaching the adapter to other Fibre Channel devices
To attach the adapter to other Fibre Channel devices, follow these steps:
1. Remove the Fibre Channel host bus adapter's optical port protector (if included)
2. Attach a connector cable to the Fibre Channel HBA.
a. Align the slotted plug with the keyed connector.
