1 Installing the Emulex CNA
This chapter describes the following topics for installing the CNA:
•“Installation prerequisites” (page 5)
•“Installing the Emulex CNA” (page 6)
See the server documentation for additional information about installing the CNA.
WARNING! Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the CNA. To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal server or workstation components to cool before touching.
Installation prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items available:
•An optical multimode cable with an
•A server with an empty x8 PCIe bus slot
Recording reference numbers
Each CNA is shipped with the following two numbers clearly marked on the board:
•IEEE address (Port 1 MAC address)
•Serial number
The MAC address is a unique
NOTE: The factory default MAC addresses are permanent identifiers that cannot be changed.
The MAC address for Port 1 is listed on the CNA. The MAC address for Port 2 and the WWNs are calculated based on the Port 1 address as follows:
MAC address/WWN | Calculation | Example | |
Port 1 | MAC address | Assigned at the factory and printed | |
|
| on the CNA IEEE address label |
|
Port 1 | WWN | 10:00:[Port 1 MAC address] | |
Port 2 | MAC address | Port 1 MAC address + 4 | |
Port 2 | WWN | 10:00:[Port 1 MAC address + 4] | |
Record the serial number and MAC addresses and WWNs for your CNA before installation.
Serial number (on CNA): ________________________________
Port 1 MAC address: ____________________________________
Port 1 WWN: __________________________________________
Port 2 MAC address: ____________________________________
Port 2 WWN: __________________________________________
