Laser Safety Notice

This laser safety information contains certification and product information covering laser products known as optical Gigabaud Link Modules (GLMs), Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) and 1x9 transceivers sold as accessories to or incorporated in Emulex LightPulse host adapters. The GLM, GBIC and 1x9 transceiver are the primary cable connection mechanisms for any optical port on the host adapter and hub. This data is not intended to be a replacement for any safety regulations and standards; relevant safety documents should always be consulted if necessary. Contact Emulex Corporation with any questions or concerns about laser safety.

Certification and Classification Labeling Requirements Product Information Usage Restrictions System Level Certification

Certification and Classification

LP6000 and LP7000/E PCI host adapters may contain a laser product known as an optical Gigabaud Link Module (GLM). The optical GLM is attached to the host adapter using an 80-pin connector and extends through the mounting bracket. In turn, the host adapter can be inserted into any host system's PCI slot.

The LH5000 hub may contain a laser product known as a Gigabit Interface Connector (GBIC). The GBIC provides the physical connector to the optical cable. The GBIC can be inserted into any pluggable hub port.

The LP8000 and LP850 PCI host adapter may contain a laser product known as a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) or an embedded 1x9 transceiver. The GBIC and or 1x9 transceiver provide the physical connection to the optical cable, and its SC-style connector extends through the mounting bracket. In turn, the host adapter can be inserted into any host system’s PCI slot.

In the United States, all optical GLMs, GBICs and 1x9 transceivers sold by Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser products that conform to the requirements contained in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulation 21 CFR subchapter J. The certification is indicated by a label located on the optical GLM, GBIC or 1x9.

In Europe, all optical GLMs, GBICs and 1x9 transceivers sold by Emulex are certified as Class 1 laser component assemblies that conform to the requirements contained in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 825-1 (1993) and CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) standard EN60825-1 (1994). GLMs, GBICs and 1x9 transceivers are certified by a recognized European testing agency and have appropriate markings on the assembly. The DHHS conformity label and European conformity mark will not be visible externally once the optical GLM, GBIC or 1x9 is connected to or inserted in the host adapter and the adapter is installed into a system.

Labeling Requirements

No caution or danger labels are required for use of the GLM, GBIC or 1x9 transceiver since they are Class 1 laser component assembly. In the U.S., the only laser safety label required is the DHHS certification label that already appears on the GLM, GBIC and 1x9 transceiver. In Europe, the IEC825-1/EN60825-1 standards require that the system-level product has a Class 1 information label permanently attached and clearly visible whenever

access to the GLM, GBIC or 1x9 transceiver optical port is possible. Each Class 1 product shall have affixed an explanatory label bearing the words:

Alternatively, at the discretion of the manufacturer, the same statement may be included in user information. If a label is used, an example of the IEC Class 1 information label that is suitable for most European countries is shown below. The label consists of black printing on a white background. Languages represented on this label are English, German, Finnish and French, and they represent the minimum set for acceptance of a Class 1 product in most European countries. Refer to IEC 825-1 (1993) for recommended label and border dimensions.

Product Information

GLM GBIC 1 x 9 Transceiver

GLM

The optical GLM is a single port communications card. Each communication port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor laser diode of gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs). This material emits in the wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave and 1270 to 1355 nanometers for long wave, and are commonly referred to as short wavelength (SW) or long wavelength (LW) lasers. The discrete laser diodes are classified as Class 3B laser products. Once they are incorporated into the GLM, the product’s automatic power control maintains the average power launched into a fiber at a value below the Class 1 limit.

Note

Return to top of page.

OFC GLMs are found only on the LP6000. Any reference to OFC or non-OFC products apples only to the LP6000, and not to the LP7000/E, LP8000 or LP850.

For OFC GLMs (Open Fiber Control) the optical fiber link between two GLM ports is continuously monitored by the open fiber link detection and laser safety control system (OFC). In the event of a break anywhere in the path, this control system prevents laser emissions from exceeding Class 1 levels. For

Page 13

Page 3 of 4

non-OFC links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service operations or adjustments can be performed on any GLM accessory.

GBIC

The optical GBIC is an integrated duplex data link for bi-directional communications over multimode or single mode optical fiber. Each GBIC consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor laser emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave length GBICs and 1270 to 1355 nanometers for long wavelength GBICs. For non-OFC links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service operations or adjustments can be performed the GBIC.

1x9 Transceiver

The 1x9 transceivers is an integrated duplex data link for bi-directional communications over multimode fiber. Each 1x9 consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains a semiconductor laser emitting in the wavelength range of 770 to 860 nanometers for shortwave 1x9s. For non-OFC links, the optical power from the laser transmitter is controlled and maintained at a lower power level. The power emitted from either an open fiber or open laser transmitter is guaranteed to be below the Class 1 limit. Class 1 laser products are not considered hazardous. No user maintenance, service operations or adjustments can be performed the 1x9 transceiver.

Return to top of page.

Usage Restrictions

Failure to comply with these usage restrictions may result in incorrect operation of the system and could possible lead to points of access that may emit laser radiation levels above the Class 1 limits established in the U. S. by the DHHS and within Europe by IEC 825-1/EN60825-1.

GLM GBIC 1 x 9 Transceiver

GLM

The GLM is designed and certified for applications using point-to-point optical fiber links only. Use of the product with multiple input or multiple output optical links (for example, star couplers) is prohibited since it is incompatible with the GLM’s certification.

The GLM will not allow normal data transmission on the optical link unless it is connected to another similar GLM or compatible laser product. For OFC GLMs, another manufacturer’s laser product is not considered compatible unless it contains the open fiber link detection and laser safety control system (OFC) and is properly certified as a Class 1 laser product. Similarly, for non-OFC GLMs, a compatible laser device must be non-OFC.

Any system level product that incorporates the GLM must provide power supply protection that guarantees a voltage of 6.0 volts or less at the GLM. The functional power supply range of the GLM

Page 14

Page 4 of 4

product is specified as 4.75 to 5.25 volts typically. Operation outside of this range may degrade the performance and lifetime of the GLM. The GLM will remain operational with laser emissions below Class 1 limits provided the power supply level at the adapter remains at or below 6.0 volts. If the power supply level rises above 6.0 volts, the GLM cannot be guaranteed to operate correctly and could result in laser emissions that may exceed Class 1 limits.

GBIC

Short wavelength and long wavelength GBICs allow normal data transmission on the optical link when they are connected to another compatible laser product. Short wavelength and long wavelength GBICs sold by Emulex as accessories are non-OFC devices. For non-OFC links, a compatible laser device must be non-OFC and certified as a Class 1 laser product.

1 x 9 Transceiver

Short wavelength 1x9 transceivers allow normal data transmission on the optical link when they are connected to another compatible laser product. Short wavelength 1x9s embedded in Emulex host adapters are non-OFC. For non-OFC links, a compatible laser device must be non-OFC and certified as a Class 1 laser product.

Return to top of page.

System Level Certification

All GLMs and GBICs sold as accessories by Emulex or host adapters containing embedded 1x9 transceivers are certified as Class 1 laser products within the U.S. and Class 1 laser component assemblies outside of the U.S. Manufacturers of products properly incorporating the GLM, GBIC or 1x9 transceiver do not need to recertify their product for laser safety. The procedure for full system certification is therefore identical to that used for any other electronic system. When applying for system level certification to electronic standards such as IEC950, the regulatory engineers may want to see the DHHS and European conformity labeling on the GLM, GBIC or 1x9 transceiver, and the system level documentation and labeling. Copies of the certificate of conformity for any GLM, GBIC or 1x9 transceiver sold by Emulex can be obtained upon request from Emulex Corporation, Costa Mesa.

Return to top of page.

Adapter Controls

General host adapter configurations are located under Adapter Controls. Check or clear the check box to enable or disable contols. All changes take effect after a server reboot.

Automatically Map SCSI Devices

Enable – Tells the driver to automatically map new SCSI devices as they are discovered. If the devices have already been mapped, either by discovery or manually, this checkbox has no effect.

Disable – Tells the driver to disable auto mapping. You must use the utility to manually map devices. New devices will not be usable until the device is mapped.

Page 26

LightPulse Fibre Channel PCI Host Adapter Management Page 4 of 7

mapped.

Query name server for all N-Ports

Enable – Tells the driver to poll the name server for all connected N-Ports.

Disable – The driver will ask for all registered SCSI FCP devices.

Note

Emulex adapters register as a SCSI FCP device. If the only devices on the fibre channel are Emulex Adapters and storage devices, the same list of devices will be returned for each of the two choices.

Point to Point

Enable – Causes the adapter to initialize in a point to point configuration. This control should also be checked if connected to a fabric via an F-Port.

Disable – The adapter will use Loop Initialization to initialize the link.

Allow Multiple paths to SCSI Targets

Enable – Mapped SCSI devices are reported on each connected port.

Disable – Mapped SCSI devices are reported only on the first connected port.

Enable – When a fabric is present, the driver will register with the fabric to receive Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) ELS requests from the fabric.

Disable – The driver will not register with the fabric, even if the fabric is present.

Note

Disabling State Change Notification will disable the automatic discovery of new devices. It will also prevent the recovery when moving cables on a switch connected to a storage device.

Use Report LUNs

Enable - For all SCSI devices, the driver will issue a Report LUNs SCSI command to determine the LUNs present on the storage device. The target device is responsible for reporting all present LUNs. If this option is enabled and the target device supports Report

Page 27

LightPulse Fibre Channel PCI Host Adapter Management Page 5 of 7

reporting all present LUNs. If this option is enabled and the target device supports Report

Enable - The driver will ignore the payload of the RSCN and query the name server for the

LUNs, then the Maximum number of LUNs is ignored for the target device.

Disable - If the target does not support the Report LUNs SCSI command or the option is disabled, then the driver will poll each device for the present LUNs. The driver will start with LUN 0 and proceed for each LUN up to the Maximum LUN value.

Use Name Server after RSCN

latest list of devices.

Disable - The driver relies on the data in the RSCN payload to update the list of devices.

Note

This option should be selected if using a switch with FL ports or soft zoning (check your switch manufacturers user guide). If neither FL ports or soft zoning is being used, disable this option for faster recovery after faults.

LUN Mapping

Enable - All LUNs behind all targets are mapped. Since Fibre Channel targets support a LUN number 64 bits long and the port driver under NT only supports 8 bits, some sort of mapping is required. Unmapped LUNs are not accessable by NT.

Disable - There is a one to one correspondence of Fibre Channel LUNs to NT LUNs. In the case where LUN Mapping is not used, the Fibre Channel LUN is created as follows:

00xx00000000

where the xx is the NT LUN number.

Automatic LUN Mapping

Enable - LUNs are automatically mapped by the driver as they are discovered.

Note

Disable - LUNs must be manually mapped.

Use SLI-1 mode

file://E:\emuweb\WWWROOT\ts\fibre-channel\docs\manage pdf\7pt_util.htm 3/24/99

Automatic mapping may cause LUN numbers to "change". For example, the LUN indicated by the SCSI Applet on the control panel may be different from the actual LUN number on the device. The mapping can be viewed by clicking on the LUN Mapping button.

AL_PA Table

When a device is connected to a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop, the loop initialization process (LIP) automatically assigns an ALPA (Arbitrated Loop Physical Address) to the device. This number is assigned to the device as long as it is connected to the loop and powered up. When the device is removed from the loop or turned off, as it is reconnected or when another LIP occurs, the device is assigned a different ALPA.

The HardALPA=0xn command in the registry allows the user to permanently assign an ALPA to the host adapter. However, only valid ALPAs may be used. The chart below shows valid ALPAs.

Enable simultaneous networking and storage over Windows NT

By Windows NT default, if a Windows NT SCSI driver is installed, it will load first when the computer boots, and use the host adapter's default or alternate device ID (View jumper

settings). The Windows NT IP driver loads later, and requires a separate device ID. This ID

is set through jumpers on the host adapter board. Jumper blocks JX1 and JX2 must be set to enable the correct device ID.

This method requires two host adapters installed in the same computer. One adapter must be an LP6000, LP7000/E or LP8000.

To run both drivers at the same time,

1. Install the first host adapter.

2. Leave one host adapter's jumpers in the default position: JX1:1-2 and JX2:2-3.

3. On the second host adapter, move jumper JX1:1-2 to JX1:2-3 to enable jumper block JX2.

4. Move jumper JX2:2-3 to JX2:1-2.

5. Install the second host adapter.

6. Install the Windows NT SCSI driver on the host adapter with the default or alternate device ID.

7. Install the Windows NT IP driver on the second host adapter.

8. Reboot the computer.

Note

These configuration changes are made to the Windows NT registry. Before changing any values, we recommend making a backup copy of the registry. Changes made incorrectly to

the Windows NT Registry will have disastrous effects.

Return to top of page.

Fibre Channel Class

The Windows NT IP driver can operate in class 2, or 3, but is set to 3 (default) during installation. To view or change this entry without directly modifying the registry, access the LAN registry parameter window and make changes there.

A second method is to run the registry configurator program (lp6conf.exe) which came with the Emulex Windows NT driver. After running configurator program, the system must be rebooted.

You can also add or modify the class entry in the Windows NT registry as shown below.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lp6ndlanx\Parameters (where x is the adapter suffix)

class REG_DWORD default is 3; set to 2 or 3

Return to top of page.

Fibre Channel Topology

The Windows NT IP driver can operate in loop topology for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop operation, Pt2Pt for Point to Point/Fabric operation (for use with a fabric switch or hub), or Both for Point to Point initialization with failover to FC-AL initialization. Topology is set to loop (default) during installation.

To view or change this entry without directly modifying the registry, access the LAN registry parameter window and make changes there.

A second method is to run the registry configurator program (lp6conf.exe) which came with the Emulex Windows NT driver. After running configurator program, the system must be rebooted.

topology REG_SZ default is loop; set to loop, pt2pt, or both.

Return to top of page.

Maximum Transfer Unit

This parameter establishes the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for a network interface. The MTU is the maximum packet size, in bytes, that the transport will transmit over the network. The packet size includes the transport header.

The MTU is set to 5DC (default) during installation. To view or change this entry without directly modifying the registry, access the LAN registry parameter window and make changes there.

A second method is to run the registry configurator program (lp6conf.exe) which came with the Emulex Windows NT driver. After running configurator program, the system must be rebooted.

You can also add or modify the MTU entry in the Windows NT registry as shown below.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lp6ndlanx (where x is adapter suffix)

MTU REG_DWORD default is 5DC; from 0X44—-0XC350.

Return to top of page.

802.3 SNAP

The Emulex Windows NT IP driver uses the 802.3 SNAP frame encoding format. By default, Microsoft Windows NT TCP/IP stack transmits DIX Ethernet format only, but is able to receive both DIX and 802.3 SNAP formats. Changing this registry value to 1 forces Windows NT TCP/IP to transmit Ethernet packets using 802.3 SNAP encoding.

Because this registry change affects all adapter cards using TCP/IP (for example, Ethernet and Fibre channel host adapters) in the computer, every card must support 802.3 SNAP encoding.

Add or modify the ArpUseEtherSnap entry in the Windows NT registry as shown below.

Values from 0 - 2. Default = 0. Controls which driver interface to use. 0 = automode; attempt SLI-2 first. If that fails uses SLI-1. 1 = always use SLI-1. 2 = always use SLI-2.

Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 0 = do not create a "dummy" disk device. 1 = create a dummy disk to force the driver to load even if no disk devices are present at boot time.

Values 0 or 1. Default = 1. Controls which N_Ports are queried from the NameServer. 0 = SCSI FCP only. 1 = All N_Ports.

Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 0 = FC_AL (loop), 1 = PT-PT Fabric. When set to 1, FLOGI, SCR/RSCN and NameServer queries are employed.

Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 1 = enable FC-AL loop master to run unfair and break potential arbitration problems by sending frames to itself. 0 = run fair all the time.
