2Installing the HBA
This chapter describes the following procedure for installing the 1050EX HBA:
• Installation prerequisites, page 14
• Installing the HBA, page 15
Refer to your server’s documentation for additional information about installing the HBA.
WARNING!Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the HBA. To reduce the
risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal server or workstation components to
cool before touching.
WARNING!Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure you are
properly grounded before beginning this procedure.
1050EX PCI-Express host bus adapter for Windows installation guide13
Installation prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
• An optical multimode cable with an LC-style duplex connector.
• A system with a 4x PCI-Express slot minimum.
NOTE: The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected
to another similar or compatible laser product (that is, multimode to multimode).

Installing the HBA14
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: world wide 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 world wide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte identifier that uniquely identifies an HBA
on an FC circuit. The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record
the addresses on the lines below for future reference.
In addition, each HBA has a unique serial number that is located on the bottom of the HBA. Check
the HBA and record its serial number so that you have the number in the unlikely event that the
NVRAM is corrupted.
NOTE: The WWN is a static identifier that cannot be changed.
Serial number: __________________________________________________
Installing the HBA
Use the following procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
CAUTION: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure.
1. Make sure the computer is powered off.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.
3. Wearing an anti-static wrist strap, remove the blank panel from an empty 4x, 8x, or 16x
PCI-Express bus slot.
4. Insert the HBA into the empty PCI-Express slot. Press firmly until the HBA is seated.
5. Secure the HBA's mounting bracket to the case with the panel clip.
6. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
7. Attach media:
• Connect the fiber optic cable to the LC connector on the HBA.
• Connect the other end of the cable to the Fibre Channel device.
NOTE: The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless the link is
connected to a similar or compatible laser product. That is, both products must be multimode to
multimode.
You are now ready to apply power to the computer.

Safety
Electrostatic discharge
To prevent damage to 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.
Preventing electrostatic damage
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 be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly
(see ”Grounding methods” on page 27).
Regulatory compliance and safety26
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 ground, 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 an
