Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To

avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective package until
you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the

device.

v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted

metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.)

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit

without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or
on a metal table.

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating

reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Chapter 1. Preparing and installing the IBM TotalStorage FAStT FC2-133 Host Bus Adapter 3

What you need for the installation

To install the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter in your server, you will need a small Phillips

Table 1. FAStT FC2-133 Adapter activity

Green LED Amber LED Activity Description

On On Power The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter is receiving

power from the PCI or PCI-X slot but is not
initialized by the adapter firmware.

On Off Online The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter is successfully

initialized by the adapter firmware and is in
a ready state. The adapter firmware is
initialized when the adapter BIOS code is
loaded, Ctrl-Q is pressed, or the operating
system driver is loaded.

Off On Signal acquired The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter firmware is

performing or waiting to perform Fibre
Channel loop initialization.

Off Flashing Loss of synchronization The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter has detected

a loss of synchronization condition from the
adapter Fibre Channel receiver and is
attempting to resynchronize. A loss of
synchronization condition might occur when
a degraded optical signal is received from
the LC-LC Fibre Channel cable or optical
interface connector.

Flashing Flashing Firmware error The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter firmware has

detected an unrecoverable error condition.

Installing the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter

Attention: To avoid damage to your fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:

v Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.

v When attaching fiber-optic cables to a Fibre Channel device on slide rails, leave

enough slack in the cables so that they do not bend to an angle smaller than 38
mm (1.5 in.) when extended or become pinched when retracted.

v Route the cable away from places where it can snag on other Fibre Channel

devices in the rack.

v Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to an angle smaller than

38 mm (1.5 in.).

v Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point and be sure that

the cable is well supported.

The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter comes with an attached standard 3U adapter bracket
as shown in Figure 2 on page 4. An additional Low Profile 2U bracket also comes
with the adapter. Before you install the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter, verify whether you
need the Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U adapter bracket. If you need to install the
Low Profile 2U bracket, continue with step 1. Otherwise, go to step 2.

1. Complete the following steps to install the Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U
adapter bracket:

Chapter 1. Preparing and installing the IBM TotalStorage FAStT FC2-133 Host Bus Adapter 5

a. Remove your FAStT FC2-133 Adapter from the static-protective package.

Set the adapter down on a nonconductive, static-protected surface (place it
component side up). Do not place the adapter on your system unit cover or
on a metal table.

b. Use your small Phillips screwdriver to carefully remove the two bracket

screws from your 3U adapter (you will reuse the two adapter screws). Take
off the 3U bracket and set it aside.

c. Align the two screw holes in the 2U adapter bracket with the two screws

holes on the adapter. Using the two screws you removed in step 1a,
secure the bracket to the adapter.

d. Return the adapter to the static-protective package until you are ready for

installation.

2. Check the system board and make any configuration changes needed to
accommodate the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter.

Note: The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter is self-configuring; however, some system

boards require manual configuration. For example, some systems have
a PCI Device Configuration menu in the system board setup BIOS code
where you must enable host adapters, bus-master slots, and interrupt
request (IRQ) levels. If the system board supports triggering, use level
triggering for the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter. For system specific
configuration, refer to the documentation that comes with your server, or
contact your IBM technical support representative to determine if your
system board requires configuration.

3. Turn off the peripheral devices. Then, turn off the server.

4. Disconnect the power cords.

5. Remove the server cover.

6. Choose a PCI bus-master slot that supports bus mastering. Most system
boards automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line. If your system
board does not automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line, you must
assign an IRQ level and use interrupt line A for this PCI bus-master slot.
Before installing your adapter into a PCI bus-master slot, note the following:

v Some system boards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master and

subordinate. The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter must be in a PCI bus-master slot.
(Some system boards have PCI bus-master slots that are shared with
on-board devices. The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter does not work in shared PCI
bus-master slots.)

v PCI connectors vary among system board manufacturers. The FAStT

FC2-133 Adapter is a 64-bit PCI device that can function in a 32-bit PCI
bus-master slot.

v The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter is designed and tested to operate at PCI bus

speeds up to 66 MHz and PCI-X bus speeds up to 133 MHz.

v PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the server contains both PCI and

PCI-X bus-master slots, refer to the documentation that comes with the
server to determine the slot type.

7. Remove the expansion slot cover. Before you remove the cover, refer to the
documentation that comes with the server for specific removal instructions.

Attention: If you try to install the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter into a PCI
bus-master slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you might
damage the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter.

8. Align the adapter with the expansion slot. Carefully press the adapter into the
PCI bus-master slot until it is fully seated and secure.

6 IBM TotalStorage FAStT FC2-133 Host Bus Adapter: Installation and User’s Guide

9. Connect one end of an LC-LC Fibre Channel cable to the optical interface
connector on the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter. Connect the other end to a Fibre
Channel device.

10. Carefully install and secure the server cover.

11. Connect the power cables.

12. Turn on all external Fibre Channel devices; then, turn on the server. The

Chapter 3. Using IBM Fast!UTIL

This chapter provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who
want to customize the configuration of the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter and the
connected Fibre Channel devices. You can configure the adapter using the
Fast!UTIL utility.

Starting Fast!UTIL

To access Fast!UTIL, press Ctrl+Q during the adapter BIOS initialization (it might
take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to display). If you have more than one
FAStT FC2-133 Adapter, Fast!UTIL prompts you to select the adapter you want to
configure. After changing the settings that are described in the “Configuration
Settings menu options” section, Fast!UTIL restarts your system to enable the new
parameters.

Important: If the configuration settings are incorrect, your FAStT FC2-133 Adapter
will not function properly. Do not modify the default configuration settings unless you
are instructed to do so by an IBM support representative or in the installation
instructions.

Configuration Settings menu options

The options described in this section configure the Fibre Channel devices and the
FAStT FC2-133 Adapter to which they are attached. The Configuration Settings
menu displays several options that you can use to configure your adapter.

Host Adapter Settings

You can access this option from the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL by
selecting Host Adapter Settings. The current default settings for the host adapter
are listed in Table 2 and are described in this section. You can modify the default
host adapter settings that are listed in Table 2.

Table 2. Modifiable host adapter default settings

Setting Options Default

Host adapter BIOS Enabled or Disabled Disabled

Frame size 512, 1024, 2048 2048

Loop reset delay 0-60 seconds 5 seconds

Adapter hard loop ID Enabled or Disabled Enabled

Hard loop ID 0-125 125

Spin up delay Enabled or Disabled Disabled

Host adapter BIOS: When this option is set to Disabled, the read-only memory
(ROM) BIOS code on the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter is disabled, freeing space in
upper memory. You must enable this setting if you are starting your operating
system from an external Fibre Channel hard disk that is attached to the FAStT
FC2-133 Adapter. The default is Disabled.

Frame size: This setting specifies the maximum frame length supported by the
FAStT FC2-133 Adapter. The default size is 2048. If you are using F-Port
(point-to-point) connections, use the default for maximum performance.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2002 17

Loop reset delay: When you reset the Fibre Channel loop, the firmware does not
initiate any loop activity for the number of seconds specified in this setting. The
default is 5 seconds.

Adapter hard loop ID: This setting forces the adapter to use the ID specified in the
Hard loop ID setting. The default is Enabled.

Hard loop ID: When the adapter hard loop ID is set to Enabled, the adapter uses
the ID specified in this setting. The default ID is 125. If there are multiple host bus
adapters in the Fibre Channel loop, each adapter must be assigned a unique
address.

Spin up delay: When this setting is Enabled, the BIOS code waits up to five
minutes to find the first drive. The default is Disabled.

Note: The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter settings and default values will vary, based on

the version of BIOS code installed for the adapter.

There are specific host-adapter settings that you cannot modify. Table 3 describes
these host-adapter settings and gives examples.

Note: See the device driver installation instructions for the required

operating-system specific modifications to the NVRAM.

Table 3. Nonmodifiable Host adapter settings and examples

Setting example

BIOS address CD400

Revision 1.25

Adapter serial number E59719

Interrupt level 3

Adapter port name 210000E08B07C703

BIOS address: The BIOS address is the I/O address where the BIOS code is
stored when you press Ctrl+Q or have the BIOS code enabled for starting from the
root directory. This is the address of the BIOS code in ROM shadow memory.
Multiple adapters can be installed in the server but only one BIOS instance will be
loaded for all of the adapters. The BIOS code is loaded from the first adapter the
server recognizes and is used for all remaining FAStT FC2-133 Adapters that are
installed in the same server. The level of BIOS code loaded does not affect other
adapters with earlier BIOS code levels.

Revision: The BIOS revision is the revision number of the loaded BIOS code,
which is from the first FAStT FC2-133 Adapter that the server recognizes. Each
FAStT FC2-133 Adapter in the server will have the same BIOS code revision
number because only one BIOS code instance is loaded.

Adapter serial number: The adapter serial number is located on the
noncomponent side of the adapter. See Figure 1 on page 3 for the location of the
serial number label.

Interrupt level: The interrupt level is the interrupt that is used by the FAStT
FC2-133 Adapter. The interrupt level can change when the operating system is
installed.

from the Configuration Settings menu. When this option is set to Enabled, you can
select the world-wide port name of the Fibre Channel hard disk from which you
want to start up (boot). When this option is set to Enabled, the node starts from the
selected Fibre Channel hard disk, ignoring any IDE or SCSI hard disks attached to
your server. When this option is set to Disabled, the Boot ID and Boot LUN
parameters have no effect.

The BIOS code in some new systems supports selectable start up, which
supersedes the Fast!UTIL selectable start up setting. To start from a Fibre Channel
hard disk attached to the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter, select the attached Fibre
Channel hard disk from the system BIOS menu.

Note: The Selectable Boot Settings option for the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter applies

to only Fibre Channel hard disk drives.

Appendix B. Warranty information 31

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-06 8/2000

Part1-General Terms

This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms and Part 2 ­Country-unique Terms. The terms of Part 2 replace or modify those of Part 1. The
warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to
Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller.
The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades,
elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term “Machine” does not
include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed
subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties
apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement
of Limited Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived
or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.

The IBM Warranty for Machines: IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from
defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published
Specifications (“Specifications”). The warranty period for a Machine is a specified,
fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt
is the Date of Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.

If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or
your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at
least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your
money will be refunded.

Extent of Warranty: The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a
Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or
operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a
product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or
alteration of Machine or parts identification labels.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO
JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH
WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Items Not Covered by Warranty: IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free

operation of a Machine. Any technical or other support provided for a Machine
under warranty, such as assistance via telephone with “how-to” questions and those
regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

Warranty Service: To obtain warranty service for a Machine, contact IBM or your

reseller. If you do not register your Machine with IBM, you may be required to
present proof of purchase.

32 IBM TotalStorage FAStT FC2-133 Host Bus Adapter: Installation and User’s Guide

During the warranty period, IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide
warranty service, provides without charge certain types of repair and exchange
service to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their
Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service
for a Machine based on its country of installation. At its discretion, IBM or your
reseller will 1) either repair or exchange the failing Machine and 2) provide the
service either at your location or a service center. IBM or your reseller will also
manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.

Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to
you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30
days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for downloading
designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM
Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that
IBM provides.

When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or
your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours.
You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement
may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally
equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service
status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the
removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will
assume the warranty service status of the removed part.

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request

procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your

facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s
possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary
or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your
reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine
prior to its return.

Limitation of Liability: Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on
IBM’s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each
such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages
from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other

Appendix B. Warranty information 33

contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by
applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than

1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and

2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring,
12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For
purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine Code and Licensed
Internal Code.

This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for
which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN

THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE
TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT
DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST
PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR
RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Governing Law: Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the

country in which you acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of
your and IBM’s rights, duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner
to, the subject matter of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles.
