Record reference numbers
Each host adapter is shipped with a unique address identifier called the IEEE address. The
Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address,
and this number is need for arbitrated loop connectivity. The serial number is used when
communicating with Emulex. Both numbers are clearly marked on the board. We
recommend that you record these numbers before installation.
Install the host adapter board
1. Turn off and unplug the computer.
2. Remove the computer case.
3. Remove the blank panel from an empty 32 or 64-bit PCI bus slot.
4. Insert host adapter board into the empty 32 or 64-bit PCI bus slot. Press firmly until
seated.
5. Secure the host adapter's mounting bracket to the case with the panel screw.
