To Prepare for HBA Installation

  1. Record the IEEE address, World Wide Name (WWN), and serial number of the HBA.

    Each HBA is shipped with several numbers clearly marked on the board. These numbers indicate the following:

    • IEEE Address

    • World Wide Name (WWN)

    • Serial number

    The IEEE address is a unique 64-bit identifier that you use when configuring your system. The FC industry uses the World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address for FC connectivity. If the adapter has two ports, there are two IEEE addresses and two WWNs. Use the serial number when communicating with Oracle Service.

  2. Attach an antistatic strap to your wrist.

    Refer to Observing ESD and Handling Precautions.

  3. Refer to your system installation or service manual to determine an appropriate ExpressModule slot in which to install the HBA.
  4. Remove power from the system if hot plugging is not supported on the system.

    To see if your system supports hot plugging/hot swapping of PCIe adapter cards, refer to your system documentation.
