1.2 Quick Installation Procedure

This section provides an overview of the installation procedure. If you are an experienced computer user with prior host adapter installation and FC setup experience, this section may describe the procedure sufﬁciently. If you prefer more detailed guidance for installing the host adapter, proceed to Section 1.3, “Detailed Installation Procedure.”

For safe and proper installation, refer to the user’s manual supplied with your computer and perform the following steps:

Step 1. Ground yourself before removing this host adapter board. Step 2. Remove the host adapter from the packaging and check that it

is not damaged.

Figure 1.1 on page 1-4 illustrates an example of this host

adapter board. Also refer to Chapter 2, “2 Gbit/s FC Host

Adapter Characteristics,” to see more detailed drawings of the

2 Gbit/s host adapter boards. Step 3. Open your PC cabinet and select an appropriate open PCI slot. Step 4. Insert the host adapter board. Step 5. Make any conﬁguration changes. Step 6. Close your PC cabinet cover. Step 7. Connect the FC cable to the host adapter.

1-2 Installation Procedures

1.3 Detailed Installation Procedure

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the host adapter. If you are experienced in these tasks, you may prefer to use

Section 1.2, “Quick Installation Procedure.”

1.3.1 Before You Start

Before starting, look through the following task list to get an over all idea of the steps you will perform. If you are not confident you can perform the tasks as described here, LSI Logic recommends getting assistance.

Each FC host adapter channel that you install can act as a host for up to 126 Arbitrated Loop FC devices, not including the adapter itself. Follow the detailed instructions in Section 1.3.2, “Installing the Host Adapter,” to install your host adapter board successfully.

1.3.2 Installing the Host Adapter

For safe and proper installation, refer to the user’s manual supplied with your computer and perform the following steps to install the host adapter.

Step 1. Ground yourself before removing this host adapter board. Step 2. Remove the host adapter from the packaging and check that it

is not damaged.

Figure 1.1 illustrates an example of this host adapter board.

Also refer to Chapter 2, “2 Gbit/s FC Host Adapter

Characteristics,” to see more detailed drawings of the 2 Gbit/s

host adapter boards. Step 3. Switch off the computer and unplug the power cords for all

components in your system. Step 4. Remove the cover from your computer according to the

instructions in the user’s manual for your system, to access the

PCI slots.

Caution: Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before

removing the cabinet top. Static charges on your body can damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by the edge; do not touch board components or gold

Detailed Installation Procedure 1-3

connector contacts. LSI Logic recommends using a static ground strap.

Step 5. Locate the slots for PCI plug-in board installation.

Refer to the user’s manual supplied with your computer to

conﬁrm the location of the PCI slots.

This host adapter requires a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot that allows

bus master operation. If a 32-bit PCI slot is used, the portion of

the J1 connector opposite the bracket remains uninserted.

Refer to Table 1.2 for details.

Note: For this host adapter to function as a 64-bit device, it must

be inserted into a 64-bit PCI slot. If the host adapter is inserted into a 32-bit PCI slot, it functions as a 32-bit device.

Step 6. On the back of the computer, remove the blank bracket panel

that is aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the

bracket screw.

• Storage Temperature: −45 °C to +85 °C (dry bulb)

• Relative Humidity Range: 0% to 95%, noncondensing

Physical Environment 2-5

2.3.3 Electromagnetic Compliance

These boards are designed and implemented to minimize susceptibility to electromagnetic emissions, and the effects of electromagnetic discharge. The boards are tested to comply with Class B and carry markings for CE, VCCI, Canada, C-Tick, and the FCC.

2.3.4 Safety Characteristics

The bare boards meet the requirements of ﬂammability rating UL 94 V-0. The bare boards are also marked with the supplier name or trademark, type, and UL ﬂammability rating. Because these boards are installed in a PCI bus slot, all voltages are below the SELV 42.4 V limit.

2.4 Operational Environment

Use the LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s family of FC host adapters in PCI-X or PCI Express computer systems with an Industry Standard Architecture/Extended Industry Standard Architecture (ISA/EISA) bracket type. The LSI Logic-supplied FC BIOS and ﬁrmware operate the host adapters. An on-board ﬂash memory device and a serial EEPROM are provided to allow BIOS code and OpenBoot code support over the PCI bus.

2.4.1 PCI-X Interface

The PCI-X interface operates as a 64-bit DMA bus master. The edge connector makes the PCI-X connection, which provides connections on both the front and back of the board. The signal deﬁnitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI-X/133 Speciﬁcation, Revision 1.0a. Refer to that speciﬁcation for details regarding the signal assignments.

2.4.2 PCI Express Interface

The LSI Logic PCI Express interface operates as a x8 lane DMA bus master. The narrow edge connector makes the PCI Express connection, which provides connections on both the front and back of the board. The signal deﬁnitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI Express base Speciﬁcation, Revision 1.0a. Refer to that speciﬁcation for details regarding the signal assignments.
