Recording reference numbers
Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier called the IEEE address. The
Fibre Channel industry standards use a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from
the IEEE address. You need this number for Fibre Channel connectivity as well as
for configuring your system.
The serial number is used when you communicate with HP about your HBA.
The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record the
addresses on the lines below for future reference.

Tru64 UNIX driver and Alpha Console support
This HBA driver is built into the Tru64 UNIX operating system and is supported
by the Alpha Console. For the supported versions of Tru64 UNIX and the Alpha
Console, consult the FCA2684/FCA2684DC PCI-X Host Bus Adapters for Open
VMS and Tru64 Release Notes.
Release notes are updated periodically and can be obtained from the HP web site:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/s an in frastructure.html.
See the documentation specific to your platform for detailed information on
installing the appropriate operating system and Alpha Console.
Note: You must initialize the Console before and after issuing wwidmgr commands.
Otherwise, the server will not reboot.

Installing and Configuring Device Drivers
Using the Alpha Console wwidmgr -show adapter and
-set adapter commands
With Alpha Console v6.7 and higher, you can set the HBA to run in either Fiber
Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) mode or in Fabric (Switch) mode. By default,
the console assumes a fabric topology. When configuring the HBA, keep the
following considerations in mind:
■ The wwidmgr -set adapter command stores the selected topology into
the NVRAM storage on the HBA. If you move the HBA from one Alpha
Server to another, this setting stays with the HBA. Alpha Console v6.7 and
higher is required to support the FCA2684/FCA2684DC.
■ An FC-AL loop setting is a valid setting in Alpha Console v6.7, however, that
setting prompts the console driver not to run.
Caution: If you connect an HBA to a switch using an FC-AL loop setting, the
results are unpredictable. The same is true for setting an HBA in fabric mode.
Access the wwidmgr manual as follows for detailed information on the wwidmgr

Using the wwidmgr -set adapter command
Use the wwidmgr -set adapter command to format the HBA NVRAM and
to configure an HBA to run on a loop or a fabric.
The command format is:
wwidmgr -set adapter -item<itemno> -topo<fabric I loop>
The itemno bracketed value is the value from the –show adapter command.
You can change all HBAs from fabric to loop by specifying an itemno value of
9999.
In the following example, init is placed at the end to emphasize that the setting
in the running HBA is not changed until the next initialization.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an
interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including
computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are,
therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related
peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended
installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be
installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that
may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for
example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a
label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional
operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment.
Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not
have an FCC logo or ID on the label. After the class of the device is determined,
refer to the corresponding statement in the sections below.

Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow
when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from
a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive
devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe
containers.
■ Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
static-free workstations.
■ Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
containers.
■ Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■ Always make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.

Electrostatic Discharge
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
■ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or
computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper
grounding, wear the strap snug against the skin.
■ Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the
straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor
mats.
■ Use conductive field service tools.
■ Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have a
HP authorized reseller install the part.
Note: For more information on static electricity, or for assistance with product
installation, contact your HP authorized reseller.
