2. Installation
The standard LPe16000/16002 HBA can be connected to fiber optic cables.
Preparing the HBA for Installation
The Emulex LPe16000 and LPe16002 host bus adapters (HBAs) use removable optical
transceivers. If you need to change the bracket for HBA installation, you must first
remove the optical transceiver(s), if installed, from the housing (cage). This procedure
explains how to install the HBA and, if necessary, how to remove the transceiver and
bracket safely.
Each HBA is shipped with several numbers clearly marked on the board. these include

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 Emulex. Record
these numbers before installation.
To install the HBA:
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.
Remove the HBA.
Note: The HBA comes with a standard PCIe bracket installed. A low-profile
bracket is included in the box with the HBA. The low-profile mounting
bracket is shorter than the standard bracket; approximately 3.11 inches
(7.9 cm) compared to 4.75 inches (12.06 cm) long.
2. For the standard LPe16000/16002 HBA, if you want to change the bracket to a low
profile version, follow steps 4–12; otherwise, proceed to “Installing the Adapter” on
page 11.
3. Some standard LPe16000/16002 HBAs come with optical transceivers embedded in
their cage assemblies. These optical transceivers must be removed before the
bracket can be removed. If the HBA contains optical transceivers, continue with the
following steps; otherwise, proceed to step 7.
CAUTION: This is a delicate operation. Take care not to damage the optical
transceiver.
