Description
15AB232A PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Installation Guide
Adapter Features
Performance Specifications
The AB232A HBA offers a highly integrated 2 Gbps Fibre Channel HBA for use
in Itanium servers based on the latest PCI-X expansion bus. The features of the
AB232A HBA provides the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for
complex, highly scalable SANs.
The AB232A HBA also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior
performance in SANs and provides best in class server CPU offload. This
exclusive hardware delivers low latency and high throughput in switched fabric,
arbitrated loop, and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling is
provided through an embedded small form factor (LC) optical interface.
The AB232A HBA is both ANSI Fibre Channel and PCI Local Bus Compliant
and supports:
■ Full duplex 2 Gbps Fibre Channel that provides data transfers of up to 400
MBps.
■ Full fabric boot support to multiple LUNs.
■ FC-Tape (FC-2) devices.
■ Point-to-point, arbitrated-loop, and switch fabric FC connections.
■ Storage protocol.
■ Fibre Channel class 2 and 3.
■ Automatic speed negotiation and topology detection.
■ End-to-end parity protection for high data integrity.
Collectively, these characteristics create a high-performance Fibre Channel HBA.
16 AB232A PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Installation Guide
Installation
This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing the AB232A HBA,
including:
■ Hardware Requirements
■ Recording Reference Numbers
■ Installing the HBA into a Computer
■ Verifying the Installation
■ Configuration Guidelines
This chapter also provides information on installation guidelines and supported
configurations for the operating systems.

Caution: The HBAs contain static-sensitive components. Make sure you
comply with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures described on page 59.
17AB232A PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Installation Guide
Installation
Hardware Requirements
The system hardware requirements for installing the HBAs include:
■ AB232A HBA requires one open 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X universal slot.
■ Multimode fiber optic cable with LC connector, used with shortwave lasers.
18 AB232A PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Installation Guide
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.
The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record the
addresses on the lines below for future reference.
Note: The WWN is a static identifier that cannot be changed.
IEEE address: __________________________________________________
