Preinstallation procedures

Before you begin the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter installation, do the following:

vRead “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 3.

vRead “What you need for the installation” on page 4.

vWrite down the serial number of the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter. Each adapter has a unique serial number. If the nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) (also referred to as NOVRAM) is damaged, the system prompts you for the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter serial number. Figure 1 on page 3 shows the serial number label location.
