If you purchased an FC ACHM 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE
2-port host interface adapter that
was not pre-installed for you, you must install it in the node canister.
Before you begin
The 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 2-port
host interface adapter is
installed in the node canisters in the control enclosure. If your
control enclosure has two node canisters, you must install the same
options in
both canisters. Do not start installation until
you have
two of the 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 2-port
host interface adapter options.
Procedure
To install the host interface adapter,
complete the following steps.
- Remove each SFP transceiver from
the host interface adapter. To remove an SFP transceiver,
swing the release handle open and use it to pull the transceiver out
of the port.
- Remove the filler plate from the host interface adapter slot.
- Loosen the retaining thumbscrew 1 as
shown in Figure 1.

- 1 Retaining thumbscrew
- 2 Filler handle
- 3 Host interface adapter
- 4 Catch slot
- From inside the canister, grasp the filler handle 2 and
slide the filler plate toward the center of the canister to disengage
the plate from the catch slot.
- Remove the filler plate.
- Insert the 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 2-port host interface adapter 3 into
the canister as shown in Figure 1.
- Align the mounting bracket of the host interface adapter with
the inside of the host interface adapter aperture
(adjacent to the thumbscrew), ensuring that the tab at the end of
the faceplate is aligned with the catch slot.
- Align the connecting edge of the host interface adapter with
the slot in the host interface adapter connector
inside the canister.
- Apply pressure to the opposite edge of the host interface adapter to
push the adapter into the connector.
- Check that the host interface adapter is
installed squarely in its slot and tighten the retaining thumbscrew 1 .
- Reinstall the SFP
transceivers that
were removed in step 1. To install a transceiver, push it fully into the port and close
the release handle.
