Installing the DS4000 FC2-133 Adapter

Attention:
v Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
v When attaching fiber-optic cables to a Fibre Channel device on slide rails, leave
v Route the cable away from places where it can snag on other Fibre Channel
v Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to an angle smaller than

The FC2-133 Adapter comes with an attached standard 3U adapter bracket as
shown in Figure 3 on page 4. An additional Low Profile 2U bracket also comes with
the adapter. Before you install the FC2-133 Adapter, verify whether you need the
Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U adapter bracket. If you need to install the Low Profile
2U bracket, continue with step 1. Otherwise, go to step 2.

IBM TotalStorage DS4000 FC2-133 Host Bus Adapter: Installation and User's Guide
To avoid damage to your fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:
enough slack in the cables so that they do not bend to an angle smaller than 38

the cable is well supported.
1. Complete the following steps to install the Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U
adapter bracket:
a. Remove your FC2-133 Adapter from the static-protective package. Set the
adapter down on a nonconductive, static-protected surface (place it
component side up). Do not place the adapter on your system unit cover or
on a metal table.
b. Use your small Phillips screwdriver to carefully remove the two bracket
screws from your 3U adapter (you will reuse the two adapter screws). Take
off the 3U bracket and set it aside.
c. Align the two screw holes in the 2U adapter bracket with the two screws
holes on the adapter. Using the two screws you removed in step 1a,
secure the bracket to the adapter.
d. Return the adapter to the static-protective package until you are ready for
installation.
2. Check the system board and make any configuration changes needed to
accommodate the FC2-133 Adapter.
Note: The FC2-133 Adapter is self-configuring; however, some system boards
require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI
Device Configuration menu in the system board setup BIOS code where
you must enable host adapters, bus-master slots, and interrupt request
(IRQ) levels. If the system board supports triggering, use level triggering
for the FC2-133 Adapter. For system specific configuration, refer to the
documentation that comes with your server, or contact your IBM
technical support representative to determine if your system board
requires configuration.
3. Turn off the peripheral devices. Then, turn off the server.
4. Disconnect the power cords.
5. Remove the server cover.
6. Choose a PCI bus-master slot that supports bus mastering. Most system
boards automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line. If your system
board does not automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line, you must
