How to Use this Guide

The SANblade™ QLogic host bus adapters (HBAs) supported in this document are described in the following paragraphs:

■

QLA4010 (single channel, full-height bracket, optical media)

■

QLA4010C (single channel, full-height bracket, copper media)

The QLA4010 HBA is 32/64-bit, 33/66/133-MHz PCI-X to iSCSI over Gigabit Ethernet on optical media. The QLA4010C HBA is 32/64-bit, 33/66/133-MHz PCI-X to iSCSI over Gigabit Ethernet on twisted-pair copper media.

This guide contains installation instructions for the hardware (QLA4010/4010C HBA), supported software drivers, and the SANsurfer Control iX GUI. Install these components in the following order:

1. Install the QLA4010/4010C HBA in your PC.

2. Install the software driver according to the directions in the appropriate section.

Section 1

Introduction

3. Install the SANsurfer Control iX GUI.

General Description

The QLA4010/4010C is an iSCSI HBA that provides PCI connectivity to SCSI using the iSCSI protocol. This release of the QLA4010/4010C HBA implements draft 20 of the IETF iSCSI standard, which creates a new industry standard SAN technology based on internet protocols: TCP/IP. Any updates to the standard will be available for downloads to the HBA. iSCSI enables new IP-based SANs, which are similar to Fibre Channel SANs, as well as a new set of storage applications, for example, remote storage.

The QLA4010/4010C HBA implements the complete protocol stack, including TCP/IP, on the HBA and off-loads the host of any I/O protocol processing. Off-loading the host frees the system to perform other tasks and deliver optimum total system performance. The QLA4010/4010C HBA handles complete SCSI transactions, iSCSI, TCP/IP, and Ethernet.

QLA4010/4010C

2.1

Installation in the Computer

Before you install the QLA4010/4010C HBA in your computer, you need the following:

■

A screwdriver (usually a Phillips #1)

■

An optical mutimode cable with an LC-style duplex connector for the QLA4010 HBA.

■

A Cat5e or Cat6 straight-through cable (not cross-over cable) with an RJ45 connector for the QLA4010C HBA.

Section 2

CAUTION!

The QLA4010/4010C HBA contains parts that can be damaged by ESD. Before handling the QLA4010/4010C HBA, use standard methods to discharge static electricity. Keep the QLA4010/4010C HBA in the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Place the HBA on the bag when you examine or configure it. Retain the bag for future use.

Perform the following steps to install the QLA4010/4010C HBA in your PC:

1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to accommodate the QLA4010/4010C HBA.

The QLA4010/4010C HBA is self-configuring; however, some motherboards require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI Device Configuration menu in the motherboard setup BIOS where you must enable HBAs, bus master slots, and IRQ levels. If the motherboard supports triggering, use level triggering for the QLA4010/4010C HBA. See the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact your computer dealer to determine if your motherboard requires configuration.

2. Power down the peripherals, then the computer.

3. Remove the computer cover and save the screws.

4. Choose any PCI bus slot that supports bus mastering. Most motherboards automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line; if your motherboard does not, you must assign the IRQ level and use interrupt line A for this slot.

IS0053302-00 7 PRELIMINARY 2-1

2 – QLA4010/4010C Installation in the Computer

NOTE:

■

Some motherboards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master and slave. The QLA4010/4010C HBA must be in a PCI bus master slot. (Some motherboards have PCI bus master slots that are shared with onboard devices. QLA4010/4010C HBAs do not work in shared slots.)

■

PCI connectors vary among system HBA manufacturers. The QLA4010/4010C HBA is a 64-bit PCI device that can function in a 32-bit PCI slot; the slot conforms to the PCI specification (the rear edge of the PCI slot is notched). If you try to install the QLA4010/4010C HBA into a PCI slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you may damage the QLA4010/4010C HBA.

■

PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both PCI and PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufacturer’s instructions to determine the slot type.

■

The QLA4010/4010C HBAs are designed and tested to operate at PCI bus speeds of up to 66 MHz and PCI-X bus speeds of up to 133 MHz.

5. Remove the slot cover for the slot in which you will install the QLA4010/4010C HBA.

6. Place the QLA4010/4010C HBA into the slot. Carefully press the HBA into the slot until it seats firmly.

7. Secure the QLA4010/4010C HBA to the chassis. Follow the PC manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Connect the appropriate cable from the devices to the corresponding connector.

9. Carefully reinstall the computer cover. Insert and tighten the computer cover screws.

10. Power up the PC.

See the appropriate section for detailed instructions on how to install the software drivers. See section 6 for detailed instructions on how to install the SANsurfer Control iX GUI.
