Sun StorageTek Enterprise PCI Express 4 Gb FC Single and Dual Port Host Bus Adapters Installation Guide

This guide describes how to install and configure your new Sun StorageTek Enterprise PCI Express 4 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Single and Dual Port Host Bus Adapter (HBA). The HBA is also referred to as SG-XPCIE1FC-QF4 (single port) or SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4 (dual port).

It contains the following topics:

• System Requirements
• Installing the HBA
• Installing the HBA Driver With the Solaris 10 OS
• Diagnostic Support

Caution - Be sure to keep the Sun StorageTek Enterprise PCI Express 4 Gb FC Single and Dual Port HBA in the antistatic bag until installation. The HBA contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before handling the HBA, use standard methods to discharge static electricity. Place the HBA on the bag when examining it. Retain the bag for future use.

---

System Requirements

Your system must have at least one PCI Express 4-lane slot to support the HBA.

---

Installing the HBA

Follow these steps to install the HBA in your system:

• To Verify the Packaging Contents
• To Install the HBA Hardware
• To Attach the Optical Cable
• To Apply Power
• To Verify Proper Installation in SPARC Platforms
• To Verify Attached Storage to the Installed HBA

Verify that the HBA is shipped with the following items (see FIGURE 1):

• HBA
• Extra PCI bracket
• Accessing Documentation, 819-1209-xx

FIGURE 1 HBA Package Contents

To install the HBA, you need to open the system and identify an empty PCI Express 4 lane slot. If necessary, consult your system manual for instructions to remove the system cover.

Caution - Damage to the HBA can occur as the result of careless handling or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the HBA with care to avoid damage to electrostatic sensitive components.

To minimize the possibility of ESD-related damage, Sun strongly recommends using both a workstation antistatic mat and an ESD wrist strap. You can get an ESD wrist strap from any reputable electronics store or from Sun as part number #250-1007. Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:

• Leave the HBA in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it in the system.
• Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection when handling the HBA and observe proper ESD grounding techniques.
• Hold the HBA by the edge of the PCB or mounting bracket, not the connectors.
• Place the HBA on a properly grounded antistatic work surface pad when it is out of its protective antistatic bag.

1. Record IEEE and serial numbers.

Each HBA is shipped with a unique 64-bit identifier called the IEEE address. The Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address. This number is needed for FC connectivity.

Because the SG-XPCIE2FC-QF4 HBA has two ports, it has two IEEE addresses. The IEEE address is used when configuring your system. The serial number is used when communicating with Sun. All numbers are clearly marked on the board. Record these numbers before installation.

2. Shut down, power off, and unplug the system.

3. Remove the system case.

4. Remove the blank panel from an empty PCI Express slot.

5. (Optional) Perform the following steps to replace the PCI bracket.

a. Remove the mounting bracket screws from the HBA (see FIGURE 2).

FIGURE 2 Removing the Bracket Screws

b. Remove the bracket and store it for future use.

c. Align the new mounting bracket tabs with the holes in the HBA.

d. Replace the screws that attach the HBA to the bracket.

6. Insert the HBA into the empty PCI Express 4-lane slot. Press firmly until the adapter is seated.

7. Secure the HBA’s mounting bracket to the case with the panel screw or clip.

8. Replace the system case and tighten the case screws.

The HBA is now installed in the system and is ready for the optical cable attachment.

Use multimode fiber-optic cable, intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications in TABLE 1.

TABLE 2 summarizes the Power-On Self-Test (POST) conditions and results.

When attaching the optical cable, be sure to:

1. Connect the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the HBA (see FIGURE 3).

FIGURE 3 Attaching the Optical Cable

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Fibre Channel device.

After the optical cable is connected to the HBA, you are ready to apply power to the system.

1. Verify that the HBA is securely installed in the system.

2. Verify that the correct optical cable is attached.

3. Plug in and power on the system.

4. Observe light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for POST results.

Yellow, green, and amber LEDs can be seen through openings in the HBA’s mounting bracket. Each port has a corresponding set of yellow, green, and amber LEDs.

1. Enter the show-devs command at the ok prompt to list the installed devices.

The HBA can be identified in the output containing the SUNW,qlc@n and SUNW,qlc@n node names, where n is usually a single-digit number from 0 to 9.

2. To positively identify the port as a Sun StorageTek 4 Gb FC port, cd to the SUNW,qlc@n entries and enter .properties as shown in the example that follows.
