Introduction Product Description The HBA has the following characteristics: ■ Small form factor (SFF) interface and Lucent Connector (LC) Fibre connector. ■ Embedded optical short-wave laser, multi-mode Fibre Channel interface. ■ Designed using a single custom Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The custom ASIC implements a very high performance, multi-class, multi-protocol Fibre Channel host adapter with a 64-bit PCI-X bus connection. ■ 66/100/133MHz PCI-X 1.0a, PCI 2.2, and PCI 2.
Introduction Table 2 describes the HBA components. Table 2: Host Bus Adapter Diagram Description Figure Legend Description 1 POST LED Indicators Note: See Table 5 and Table 6 for detailed descriptions. 2 Fibre Channel (LC) connectors.
Introduction Performance Specifications The FCA2384 PCI-X host bus adapter offers a highly integrated 2Gb/s Fibre Channel HBA for use in servers based on either PCI or the latest PCI-X expansion bus. The features of this PCI-X based HBA provide the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for complex, highly scalable SANs. The FCA2384 also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior performance in SANs and provides best in class server CPU off load.
Introduction Standards The HBA conforms to the following standards: ■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-PH, Revision 4.3 ■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-AL, Revision 4.5 ■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-FS ■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-PI ■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-PLDA ■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-MI ■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-FLA ■ Fibre Channel Class 2, 3 ■ PCI-X 1.0a ■ PCI local bus revision 2.
Introduction Agency Approvals The HBA has the following agency approvals: 18 ■ CFR Title 21, Laser AEL Class 1, FDA/CDRH ■ UL recognized to UL1950 ■ CUR recognized to CSA22.2, No.
Installation 2 This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing the FCA2384 host bus adapter (HBA) including: ■ Prerequisites ■ Recording Reference Numbers ■ Installing the HBA into a Computer ■ Verifying the Installation ■ Configuration Guidelines This chapter also provides information on installation guidelines and supported configurations for the operating systems. Note: The HBA contains static-sensitive components. Comply with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures.
Installation Prerequisites The following prerequisites are provided to help you install the FCA2384 HBA. Hardware Requirements Table 3 describes the voltage and minimum PCI slot requirements for the FCA2384. Table 3: HBA Voltage and Minimum PCI Slot Requirements HBA Voltage Requirement 3.3 VDC HBA PCI Signaling Voltage 3.3 volt, 5 volt Tolerant PCI Slot Type Universal PCI connector In addition, you must use Multimode fiber optic cable with LC connector, used with short-wave 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 Following is the procedure for installing the HBA into a computer. WARNING: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions 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 32- or 64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus slot. Compare the removed panel to the bracket on the host bus adapter.
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 HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it 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 Figure 1 and Table 4 of this guide. The green LED indicates power functions and the amber LED signifies port activity. The amber LED blinks at all times during normal operation. Table 5 lists normal indications.
Installing and Configuring Device Drivers 3 This chapter describes how to install and configure the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) device drivers. It includes the following sections: ■ Tru64 UNIX Driver and Alpha Console Support ■ Using the Alpha Console wwidmgr -show adapter and -set adapter Commands ■ OpenVMS Driver and Console Support You should be familiar with the operating system under which the HBA operates. You must also have access to standard operating system documentation.
Installing and Configuring Device Drivers Tru64 UNIX Driver and Alpha Console Support This HBA driver is built into the Tru64 UNIX operating system and is supported by the Alpha Console. For the supported versions of Tru64 UNIX and the Alpha Console, consult the HBA Release Notes included in this documentation package. Release notes are updated periodically and can be obtained from the HP website: http://www.hp.com/country/us/eng/prodserv/storage.html.
Installing and Configuring Device Drivers Using the Alpha Console wwidmgr -show adapter and -set adapter Commands With Alpha Console V6.4 and higher, you can set the HBA to run in either Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) mode or in Fabric (Switch) mode. By default, the console assumes a fabric topology.
Installing and Configuring Device Drivers Using the wwidmgr -show adapter Command Use the wwidmgr -show adapter command to view HBA configuration. The following example shows a display from wwidmgr -show adapter for a system with two HBAs: The following table describes the elements of the following display line in detail: [0]kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 Item 28 1000-0000-c921-05ab Description fabric fabric Explanation [0] Item Number A parameter to the –item qualifier in the -set adapter command.
Installing and Configuring Device Drivers Using the wwidmgr -set adapter Command Use the wwidmgr -set adapter command to format the HBA NVRAM and to configure an HBA to run on a loop or a fabric. The command format is: wwidmgr -set adapter -item -topo The itemno bracketed value is the value from the –show adapter command. You can change all HBAs from fabric to loop by specifying an itemno value of 9999.
Installing and Configuring Device Drivers OpenVMS Driver and Console Support The HBA driver is built into the OpenVMS operating system, into the TIMA Kit. The HBA is supported by the Alpha Console. You configure the driver using the Console for your version of OpenVMS. See the documentation specific to your platform for detailed information on installing the appropriate operating system, Console software, and for upgrading the firmware.
4 Troubleshooting Power-On Self Test (POST) The Power-On Self Test (POST) is a troubleshooting utility that you can use for the FCA2384 host bus adapter (HBA). This chapter explains the use of this utility in the event of an HBA problem. Table 6 lists the HBA LED states with descriptions of each state.The position of the POST LED indicators is defined in Figure 1 and Table 2 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.
