Installing an 8 Gbps Fibre Channel 4-port host interface
adapter
If you purchased an FC ACHK 8 Gbps Fibre Channel 4-port host interface adapter
that was not preinstalled for you, you must install it in the node canister.
Before you begin
The 8 Gbps Fibre Channel 4-port host interface adapter is installed in the node
canisters in the control enclosure. If your control enclosure has two node canisters,
you must install the same options in both canisters. Do not start installation until
you have two of the 8 Gbps Fibre Channel 4-port host interface adapter options.
About this task
Note: The host interface adapter has four ports, but only two small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) transceivers are installed.
Procedure
To install the host interface adapter, complete the following steps.
