This chapter gives some common solutions to problems that can occur when installing a
Compaq StorageWorks PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) for IBM AIX.
The troubleshooting techniques described in this chapter do not identify all possible
problems with you HBA, nor do the actions suggested remedy all problems.
Troubleshooting
Use the errpt command to identify the cause of failure. The lsdev command will provide
the location of the component. For example, if errpt identifies a loose cable on the device
cdal, lsdev will give an address similar to:
Chapter 3
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
cdal Available 00-02-01-3,0 Cambex SCSI...
Which indicates that the adapter is in location 00-02, and the drive is at SCSI ID 3, LUN 0.

Regulatory Compliance Notices
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.
Appendix A
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.
Class A Equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at personal expense.
A–2 Compaq StorageWorks PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter for IBM AIX Installation Guide
Class B Equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo—United States Only
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Laser Safety Warnings
Do not use a laser GBIC with this card, unless it meets the safety requirements of a class 1
laser as specified by the US Food and Drug Administration Center of Drug and
Radiological Health (CDRH) 21 CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and by IEC 825-1.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous radiation:
Do not try to open the laser device enclosure. There are no user-serviceable
components inside.
Do not operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures to the laser device
other than those specified herein.
Allow only Compaq authorized service technicians to repair the laser device.
Compliance with CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These
regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1,1976. Compliance is
mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
Compliance with International Regulations
All Compaq systems equipped with laser devices comply with appropriate safety
standards including IEC 825.
Appendix B
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.
B–2 Compaq StorageWorks PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter for IBM AIX Installation Guide
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 Compaq
authorized reseller install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or for assistance with product installation,
contact your Compaq authorized reseller.
