“Installing Adapter Hardware” (page 24)
“Attaching the Adapter to Other Fibre Channel Devices” (page 26)
“Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation” (page 26)
“Verifying Connectivity” (page 27)
“Interpreting Hardware Paths” (page 28)
Prerequisites
Before installing the adapter, follow these steps:
1. Verify compliance with supported configurations using the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
Support Matrix at: http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#Fibre%20Channel
2. Determine if the adapter is a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) using the HP Fibre Channel
Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix. If the adapter is not a CRU, contact your HP representative
for installation assistance.
Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) must be installed or replaced by qualified Hewlett-Packard
service representatives only. CRUs can be installed or replaced by customers or qualified
Hewlett-Packard service representatives.
3. Check the following conditions:
• To verify that the/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /sbin directories are in the PATH,
enter the following command:
echo $PATH
• Verify that you have the following items:
— Grounding wrist strap
— Fibre Channel driver software media (included with the OS or application CD or
DVD)
— Fibre Channel host bus adapter with an optical port protector attached (not included
with all adapters)
• Verify that you have the following cabling items:
— Fiber optic cable terminated with a duplex LC connector.
— Cable map (optional)
