To Apply Power

Language:

Note - Before you apply power to the system, read Chapter 3, Operating Protocol Mode Configuration, which describes how to change the operating protocol mode of the universal HBA. It is important to perform the steps in Chapter 3, Operating Protocol Mode Configuration prior to applying power to the system to prevent potential configuration errors.

If the system was powered down prior to installing the universal HBA, power it on as follows:

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

Verify that the correct data cable is attached.

Refer to your system installation or service manual to determine how to power on the system.

Observe the light-emitting diode (LED) status as shown in Figure 7, Table 7, Universal Host Bus Adapter Port LEDs for CNA Mode (for 10 Gb FCoE) or Figure 8, Table 8, Universal Host Bus Adapter Port LEDs for FC Only Mode (for 16 Gb, 8 Gb, or 4 Gb FC) to verify that the universal HBA is operating.

Figure 2–4 shows the locations of the LEDs on the front panel of the universal HBA.
