1 Introduction
Audience for this Manual
This guide is intended for network administrators, maintenance engineers or
qualified personnel who maintain and/or update servers. Since installing this
Adapter involves both hardware and software installation functions, it is
important that the person installing the adapter is familiar with performing such
tasks as installing PCI cards, connecting cables, and installing software drivers.
What is the Hewlett-Packard Fibre Channel
Adapter?
The Hewlett-Packard Fibre Channel Adapter is a reliable, high performance
serial I/O storage interface for servers. The serial nature of Fibre Channel brings
the flexibility and ease of use of LAN connectivity to storage attachment,
introducing the idea of Storage Area Networks (SAN). Fibre Channel simplifies
the physical configuration issues related to the I/O channel. Peripherals may be
positioned at considerable distances from the server (depending on cabling
media) for convenience or for data security. More reliable in data transfer than
conventional LAN, Fibre Channel offers Gigabit performance and greater
device connectivity than parallel SCSI. The 32/64 bit, 33 MHz, 1 Gigabit HP
Fibre Channel Adapter provides the I/O channel scalability required for
continuous growth in storage capacity and availability needs.
The Hewlett-Packard Fibre Channel Adapter is configured to run on an
Arbitrated Loop, or a Fabric environment, Class 3 operation with the SCSI FCP
protocol. The SCSI FCP protocol allows the use of the standard Windows NT
SCSI miniport interface, thus blending the Hewlett-Packard Fibre Channel
Adapter’s revolutionary I/O technology with evolutionary requirements of
standards-based servers.

GBIC Overview
A GBIC converts internal electrical signals to external electrical or optical
signals for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The Fibre Channel
cable inserts into the connector of the GBIC module.
There are several types of GBIC modules currently available that can be used in
the D8602B Fibre Channel Adapter. GBICs are “hot pluggable,” which means
they can be plugged into, or pulled out of the Adapter while the power is
applied.
CAUTION Do not remove or insert the Adapter while power is
applied. If you do switch GBICs while the system is
powered up, make sure the Adapter is secured in the PCI
slot. If the Adapter is not secured in the PCI slot, damage
may occur to the Adapter and possibly the system’s logic
board.

CAUTION Inserting a passive GBIC without Fibre Channel device/
hub attached will cause an open loop condition. This open
loop condition will prevent devices attached to the internal
HSSDC connector from functioning. To avoid this
situation, avoid inserting the passive GBIC until external
Fibre Channel devices are attached to the passive GBIC.
Installing the GBIC
Select the type of GBIC module that is compatible with your system.
•
Install the GBIC into the receptacle on the Adapter.

7 Troubleshooting
The following tips are general troubleshooting procedures.
•
•
Check that the card is seated all the way into the PCI slot.
Check motherboard system documentation to ensure that bus mastering
support is provided and enabled for the PCI slot containing the HP Fibre
Channel Adapter.
•
•
•
Check that the GBIC is seated correctly into the Adapter.
Check that the cable is inserted all the way into the GBIC.
Check that all peripherals are connected correctly throughout the loop.
Peripherals with intermittent connections can cause long Operating
System initialization during Power-On. Remove suspect peripheral from
loop.
•
•
•
Check the LED lights; The PWR/ACT LED turns on at power up, and
flashes after the card is initialized. The LINK LED indicates that the link
is up. See Chapter 2 for details on verifying the adapter card.
If not using a HUB or switch, make sure that the cables are connected
correctly throughout the loop. The loop must be in series, from one
device to another.
If a problem occurs while loading the Windows NT driver or when you
try to access a storage device, check the Windows NT Event Log. The
Event Log lists events that have been logged by various software
components. As an example, if the driver failed to initialize, the log
should have an event listed as “Driver failed to initialize.” For other
Operating Systems, consult troubleshooting section in the accompanying
operating system user manual.
NOTE A possible cause of driver or device failure could be that the loop is
not complete or, in other words, devices are not connected in series to
form a loop. This does not apply if you are using a HUB or switch.
•
Verify that at least one device in the loop is powered up if you are not
using a HUB or switch. Hubs or switches detect devices that are not
powered up and automatically do a port bypass.

F Warranty and Support
The hardware warranty below applies to components purchased as accessories.
If your component was factory installed as part of an HP NetServer model, refer
to the HP NetServer Warranty and Service/Support Booklet for the warranty
limitations, customer responsibilities, and other terms and conditions.
Hardware Accessories Limited Warranty
Hewlett-Packard Hardware Accessories
An HP NetServer Hardware Accessory is an internal HP hardware product that
is specifically designated for use with HP NetServers; is added on or integrated
into an HP NetServer in order to provide higher performance, capacity, or
increased capability; and is listed as a product in HP's Corporate Price List.
Upon installation inside an HP NetServer, the HP NetServer Hardware
Accessory carries a System-Matching Warranty. This warranty includes a one-
year
Return-to-HP warranty or the remainder of the warranty period for the original
HP NetServer in which it is installed, whichever is longer.
This accessory may be serviced through expedited part shipment. In this event,
HP will prepay shipping charges, duty, and taxes; provide telephone assistance
on replacement of the component; and pay shipping charges, duty, and taxes for
any part that HP asks to be returned.
HP warrants this HP NetServer Hardware Accessory against defects in material
and workmanship, under normal use, for the period specified in the section
titled HP NetServer Limited Warranty Coverage. The warranty commences on
receipt of this product by Customer from HP or Reseller. If HP or Reseller
receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP or Reseller will
either, at its option, repair or replace products that prove to be defective.
Should HP or Reseller be unable to repair or replace the hardware accessory
within a reasonable amount of time, Customer's alternate remedy shall be a
refund of the purchase price upon return of the hardware accessory product.
HP products external to the system processor unit, such as external storage
subsystems, printers, or other peripherals, are covered by the applicable

warranty for those products. HP SureStore drives are considered external
accessories and carry their own warranty.
The customer may be required to run HP-supplied configuration and diagnostic
programs before a replacement will be dispatched or an on-site visit is
authorized.
Third-Party Hardware Products
HP does not warrant third-party hardware products. Third-party hardware
products may be warranted in accordance with the third-party warranty
statement accompanying the product. On-site visits caused by third-party
hardware products—whether internal to the HP NetServer system processor
unit (such as non-HP DIMMs) or external to the system processor unit (such as
LAN cabling)—are subject to standard per-incident travel and labor charges.
