Recording Reference Numbers; Installing The Hba; Led Location - HP BL860c Installation Manual

Figure 2 shows the LEDs that are referenced later in this document for the A8002A and A8003A HBAs.

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: world wide port name (WWPN) and world wide node name
(WWNN), each of which is derived from the HBA's IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and WWNN
create the world wide name (WWN), which is an 8-byte identifier that uniquely identifies an HBA
on an FC circuit. The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record the
addresses on the lines below for future reference.
In addition, each HBA has a unique serial number that is located on the bottom of the HBA. Check the
HBA and record its serial number so that you have the number in the unlikely event that the NVRAM is
corrupted.
NOTE:
The WWN is a static identifier that cannot be changed.
WWN address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: __________________________________________________

Installing the HBA

Use the following procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
CAUTION:
Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure as described in
and safety" on page 27.
1.
Make sure the computer is powered off.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.
3. Wearing an anti-static wrist strap, remove the blank panel from an empty x4, x8, or x16 PCIe bus slot.
NOTE:
The HBA comes with a standard PCI bracket installed. A low-profile bracket is included
in the box with the HBA. The low-profile mounting bracket is shorter than the standard
bracket: approximately 7.9 cm (3.1 1 in.) compared to 12.06 cm (4.75 in.) long.
