Note: Be careful not to push the bracket past the transceiver. Ensure the light
emitting diodes (LEDs) are properly aligned with the holes in the bracket.

10. Re-install the transceiver by sliding it into the housing. When the latch engages, it
clicks.
11. Push the bail back into place.
Installing the Adapter
1. Turn off the computer if hotplug is not supported on the server. See your server
documentation to see if it supports Hot Plug/Hot Swap of PCIe adapter cards.
2. Remove the computer case.
3. Remove the blank panel from an empty PCIe bus slot. See “Preparing the HBA for
Installation” on page 8 to change the brackets if needed. Otherwise, proceed to
“Attaching Media” on page 11.
Note: Place the HBA into an empty PCIe x8 or x16 slot. Make sure that the adapter
is in an appropriate PCIe slot that does not interfere with other components
or case to prevent damage to the HBA.
4. Insert the HBA into the empty x8 or x16 PCIe bus slot. Press firmly until the adapter
is seated.
5. Secure the HBA mounting bracket to the case with a panel screw or clip.
6. Replace the computer case and tighten the case screws.
The HBA is now installed in the server and is ready for media attachment.
Attaching Media
Use multimode fiber optic cable, with short-wave lasers, that adheres to the following
specifications:
Note: The HBA will not allow normal data transmission on an optical
link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible laser
product (that is, multimode to multimode.)
Note: The HBA will not automatically downgrade to the required FC
speed based on cable length. You must downgrade the speed
with the appropriate utility or link errors may occur.
