How to Install the Sun StorEdge PCI
Dual Fibre Channel Host Adapter Card
For information about FC-AL host adapters, refer to your Sun Fire V890 Server
Owner's Guide.
Note – Do not use the internal port of the Sun StorEdge PCI Dual Fibre Channel
Host Adapter card to connect to the Loop A port of an FC-AL disk backplane. You
must connect the card's internal port to Loop B only.
Note – If the internal port of your Sun StorEdge PCI Dual Fibre Channel Host
Adapter card is connected to the Loop B port of an FC-AL disk backplane, you must
not use the card's external Port 1. Connecting Port 1 to external devices under these
circumstances is considered an unsupported configuration. In this case, use only
Port 2 to connect to external devices.
