LPe12000, LPe12002 and LPe12004 Hardware Installation ManualPage iii
Introduction
This manual describes the Emulex
Fibre Channel (FC) to Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) host bus adapters (HBAs).
They feature a revolutionary design with integrated ARM-1156 cores, integrated SERDES, integrated
SRAM, and external Double-Data Rate (DDRII SRAM) memory structure. The LPe12000 is a singlechannel adapter. The
The core technology of these HBAs is the ninthgeneration FC controller b y Emulex. Th e contr oller
incorporates a multifunction native PCIe core that is compliant to the PCIe Base Specification 2.0 and
PCI Express CEM Specification 2.0. The HBAs support packet transfers up to 5 gigatransfers per
second (5.0 GT/s) on the PCIe link. The supported physical PCIe connector is x4 or x8. The fully
featured FC port is compliant to various American National Standards Institute (ANSI) FC standards.
The product is targeted at FC storage networking environments that require the highest degrees of
robustness, performance and ease of management.
Note: Illustrations in this manual are only examples. The actual hardware may vary.
LPe12002 is a dual-channel adapter.The LPe12004 is a four-channel adapter.

Setting the Jumpers
Caution: Emulex LightPulse® HBAs contain electronic components that can be damaged by static
electricity through an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event. To prevent ESD damage, maintain
constant contact with any grounded metal surface. A grounding wrist strap is useful for this
purpose. Handle the card carefully at all times and preferably by the edges. Avoid touching
electronic components and keep the card in the original packaging until you are ready for
installation.
The device ID jumpers are used in custom applications. Do not chang e the jumper se ttings for a
standard Emulex installation.
The LPe12000 HBA has one six-post jumper block that controls the HBA's device ID. The LPe120 02
and LPe12002-X8 HBAs have two six-post jumper blocks that control the HBA's device ID for Ports 0
and 1. The LPe12004 HBA has four six-post jumper blocks that control the HBA's device ID for Ports 0,
1, 2 and 3. Select the ID by installing a jumper between posts 1 and 2, or 3 and 4, or 5 and 6. If no
jumper is installed, the default device ID is 0x1AE5.
Table 1. Jumper Settings
(Port 0 on the LPe12000 - Ports 0 and 1 on the LPe12002 - Ports 0, 1, 2 and 3 on the LPe12004)
Note: * Without a jumper, the HBA reports a device ID of 0x1AE5. Most software drivers
require a PCI device ID of F100 to properly identify and control the HBA. Do not
attempt to operate the HBA with the PCI device ID set to 0x1AE5 unless
recommended by the driver installation instructions.

Installing the Host Bus Adapter
bail (handle)
The EmulexLPe12000, LPe12002 and LPe12004 host bus adapters (HBAs) use removable optica l
transceivers. If you need to change the bracket for HBA installation, you must first re move the op tical
transceiver(s), if installed, from the housing (cage). This document explains how to install the HBA and,
if necessary, how to remove the transceiver and bracket safely.
To install the HBA:
1. Each HBA is shipped with several numbers clearly marked on the board. these include
•IEEE Address
•World Wide Name (WWN)
•Serial num ber
The IEEE address is a unique 64-bit identifier that you use when config uring your system. The
FC indu
(IEEE) address for FC connectivity. If the adapter has two ports, there are two IEEE addresses
and two WWNs. If the adapter has four ports, there are four IEEE addresses and four WWNs.
Use the serial number when communicating with Emulex. Record these numbers before installation.
2. Turn off the computer and unplug it.
. Remove the computer case.

4. Follow steps 5

included in the box with the LPe12000, LPe12002 HBAs. (The LPe12004 will not fit in
a half height slot.) The low-profile mounting bracket is shorter than the standard
bracket; approximately 3. 11 in. (7.9 cm) compared to 4.75 in. (12.06 cm) long.
5. To change the bracket, you must first remove the transceiver from its cage assembly.
Caution: This is a delicate operation–take care not to damage the transceiver.
The HBA uses different types of transceivers. Figure 2 shows an example of one type showing
the b
ail (handle) extended.

6. To remove the transceiver, pull the bail (handle) out and down to release the latch and gently pull
the transceiver out. Do not force it. After the latch is released, the transceiver slides out easily.

Figure 3 shows one transceiver partly extracted and the other latched in place.

7. Observing ESD precautions, store the tran sce ive r in an ESD-sa fe plac e.
8. Remove the mounting bracket screws from the top of the HBA.
Figure 4: Removing the Bracket
9. Remove the bracket and store it for future use.
10. Align the new mounting bracket tabs with the holes in the HBA.
Note: Be careful not to push the bracket past the transceiver housing's grounding tabs.
Make sure the light emitting diodes (LEDs) are properly aligned with the holes in the
bracket.
11. Re-install the screws that attach the HBA to the bracket.
12. Re-install the transceiver by sliding it into the housing. When the latch engages, it clicks.
13. Push the bail back into place.
14. Remove the blank panel from an empty x8 or higher PCIe bus slot.
15. Insert the HBA into the empty slot. Press firmly until the adapter is seated.
16. Secure the HBA's mounting bracket to the case with the panel screw or clip.
17. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
The HBA is now installed in the PC and is ready for media attachment.
