If the adapter device driver is installed, the following is an example of the data that is displayed on the
window:
Fileset
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
devices.pciex.8680c71014108003.rte
Verify that the file sets are installed at the AIX version level you are running. Level 5.3.8.0 is an example.
If the correct information is displayed, continue to the next section, Installing the adapter. If no data is
displayed on your screen, the adapter device driver did not install correctly. Try reinstalling the driver.
Installing the adapter
For instructions on how to install PCI adapters, see Installing the PCI adapters topic.
Verifying the adapter installation
To verify that your system unit recognizes the PCI adapter, do the following steps:
1. If necessary, log in as root user.
2. At the command line, type: lsdev -Cs pci
3. Press Enter.
A list of PCI devices are displayed. If the adapter is installed correctly, an Available status for each port
indicates that the adapter is installed and ready to use. If the message on your screen indicates that any
of the ports are DEFINED instead of AVAILABLE, shut down your server and verify that the adapter was
installed correctly.
Connecting to an Ethernet network
This section explains how to connect the adapter to the multimode fiber network. Refer to your local
procedures for information about connecting the adapter to your Ethernet network.
Note: Only one type of network can be attached to the adapter at one time.
To connect the adapter to a multimode fiber network, do the following steps:
1. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the fiber cable into the adapter LC connector.
2. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the other end of the cable into the network switch.
Notes:
v The adapter requires a 1310 nm single-mode fiber optic cable. See Table 43 on page 139.
v If your switch has an SC receptacle, you need an LC-SC converter cable.
v It is necessary to configure an IP network interface to enable the adapter to detect a link and to
illuminate the link LED.
Adapter LEDs
The LEDs on the adapter provide information about the operation status of the adapter. The LEDs are
visible through the mounting bracket and, when lit, indicate the following conditions:
