Compaq LP8000-F1 manual Recording Reference Numbers, Installing the HBA into a Computer

Installation 2-3

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: WorldWide Port Name (WWPN) and Node Name (NN), each of which is derived from the HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and NN create the WorldWide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte field that uniquely identifies an HBA on a FC circuit.

Recording the Address and Serial Number

The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record the addresses on the lines below for future reference.

IEEE address: __________________________________________________

Serial number: __________________________________________________

Installing the HBA into a Computer

Following is the procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.

WARNING: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure.

1.Make sure the computer is powered down and the AC power cord is disconnected.

2.Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.

3.Remove the blank panel from an empty 32- or 64-bit PCI bus slot.
