Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Host Bus Adapter, Emulex Installation Guide For HBA Model 7101684

To Install the HBA

The HBA is shipped with two mounting brackets: a pre-installed, low-profile PCIe mounting bracket, and a standard bracket, included in the box with the HBA. 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). If you need to change the bracket to install the HBA, you must first remove the optical transceivers from their housing. See To Replace the Low-Profile Bracket With a Standard Bracket. This procedure covers how to install the HBA with the low-profile mounting bracket installed.

1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist, as described in Observing ESD and Handling Precautions.
2. Perform the following actions, as necessary for your system:

   • Determine an appropriate PCIe slot in which to install the HBA.

   • Power down the system.

   • Disconnect power from the system.

   • Remove the necessary covers and bezels from the system.

   For detailed instructions on how to perform these actions, refer to your system documentation.

3. Rotate the PCI hold-down bracket (located on the edge of the chassis) 90 degrees so that the chassis edge can accept the HBA.
4. If required by your system, loosen the screw that holds the bracket to the chassis.
5. Line up the HBA with the PCIe connector on the rear of the motherboard.
6. Insert the HBA into the connector so it is fully seated.
7. Rotate the PCI hold-down bracket to the closed position and secure the screw on the bracket.
8. Perform the following actions, as necessary for your system:

   • Replace the necessary covers and bezels onto the system.

   • Reinstall the server chassis in the rack.

   For detailed instructions on how to perform these actions, refer to your system documentation.

   The HBA is now installed and ready for optical or copper cable attachment.
