Chapter 1. Preparing and installing the IBM System Storage  
DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA  
This chapter contains instructions for preparing and installing the IBM System  
Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA and describes the adapter  
components. The IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port  
HBA is referred to throughout this book as the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter.  
Overview  
The IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA is a  
4Gbps high-performance, direct memory access (DMA), bus master, Fibre Channel  
host adapter designed for high-end systems. The function and performance are  
derived from the ISP2422 chip (see Figure 2 on page 4) making this FC 4Gbps  
PCI-X Adapter a leading-edge host adapter.  
The ISP2422 chip combines a powerful, reduced instruction set computer (RISC)  
processor, a Fibre Channel protocol manager (FPM) with one 4 GB Fibre Channel  
transceiver, and a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) or peripheral component  
interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus interface in a single-chip solution. The FC  
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter supports all Fibre Channel (FC) peripheral devices that  
support private-loop direct attach (PLDA) and fabric-loop attach (FLA).  
The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter connects the following:  
v Mainframe computers  
v Super computers  
v Workstations  
v Storage devices  
v Servers  
Fibre Channel defined  
Fibre Channel technology is outlined in the SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol  
(SCSI-FCP) standard. Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transport technology  
used for mass storage and networking.  
Using a Fibre Channel Arbitrated loop (FC-AL), 126 Fibre Channel devices can be  
supported, compared to 15 small computer system interface (SCSI) devices with  
Ultra SCSI.  
The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter uses a multimode shortwave optical interface for  
distances up to 500 meters when operating at 1Gbps, 300 meters when operating  
at 2Gbps, and 150 meters when operating at 4Gbps.  
The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter is a 4Gbps Fibre Channel device that supports data  
transfer rates up to 400MB per second half-duplex and 800MB per second  
full-duplex on optical interfaces.

Handling static-sensitive devices  
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To  
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective package until  
you are ready to install them.  
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following  
precautions:  
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around  
you.  
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.  
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.  
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the  
device.  
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted  
metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds. (This drains static electricity  
from the package and from your body.)  
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit  
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its  
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover or  
on a metal table.

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating  
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.  
What you need for the installation  
To install the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter in your server, you will need a small Phillips  
screwdriver. Depending on your configuration, you might need the following two  
items:  
v An LC-LC Fibre Channel Cable1 (enables you to connect Fibre Channel nodes to  
a loop)  
v LC-SC Fibre Channel Cable1 (enables you to connect an LC-LC Fibre Channel  
cable to a device that requires an SC connector)

Installing the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter  
Attention: To avoid damage to your fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:  
v Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.  
v
For devices on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cables so that they do not  
bend to a diameter of less than 76 mm (3 in.) or to a radius less than 38 mm  
(1.5 in.) when extended or become pinched when retracted.  
v Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in  
the rack cabinet.  
v Do not use plastic cable ties in place of the provided cable straps.  
v Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a diameter of less than  
76 mm (3 in.) or a radius less than 38 mm (1.5 in.).  
v Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Be sure that the  
cable is well supported.  
v The following are the recommended maximum cable lengths.  
– 1Gbps: 500 meters 50/125 µm fiber, 300 meters 62.5/125 µm fiber  
– 2Gbps: 300 meters 50/125 µm fiber, 150 meters 62.5/125 µm fiber  
– 4Gbps: 150 meters 50/125 µm fiber, 70 meters 62.5/125 µm fiber  
CAUTION:  
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or  
transmitters) are installed, note the following:  
v Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could  
result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable  
parts inside the device.  
v Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than  
those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.  
DANGER  
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser  
diode. Note the following.  
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly  
with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.  
The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter comes with an attached standard 3U adapter bracket  
as shown in Figure 2 on page 4. An additional Low Profile 2U bracket also comes  
with the adapter. Before you install the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter, verify whether you  
need the Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U adapter bracket. If you need to install the  
Low Profile 2U bracket, continue with step 1. Otherwise, go to step 2.  
1. Complete the following steps to install the Fibre Channel Low Profile 2U  
adapter bracket:  
6
IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA: Installation and User’s Guide  
 
 
a. Remove your FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter from the static-protective package.  
Set the adapter down on a nonconductive, static-protected surface (place it  
component side up). Do not place the adapter on your system unit cover or  
on a metal table.  
b. Use your small Phillips (#1) screwdriver to carefully remove the two bracket  
screws from your 3U adapter, (you will reuse the two adapter screws).  
Take off the 3U bracket and set it aside.  
c. Align the two screw holes in the 2U adapter bracket with the two screws  
holes on the adapter. Using the two screws you removed in step 1a,  
secure the bracket to the adapter.  
d. Return the adapter to the static-protective package until you are ready for  
installation.  
2. Check the system board and make any configuration changes needed to  
accommodate the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter.  
Note: The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter is self-configuring; however, some  
system boards require manual configuration. For example, some  
systems have a PCI Device Configuration menu in the system board  
setup BIOS code where you must enable host adapters, bus-master  
slots, and interrupt request (IRQ) levels. If the system board supports  
triggering, use level triggering for the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter. For  
system specific configuration, refer to the documentation that comes  
with your server, or contact your IBM technical support representative to  
determine if your system board requires configuration.  
3. Turn off the peripheral devices. Then, turn off the server.  
4. Disconnect the power cords.  
5. Remove the server cover.  
6. Choose a PCI bus-master slot that supports bus mastering. Most system  
boards automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line. If your system  
board does not automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line, you must  
assign an IRQ level and use interrupt line A for this PCI bus-master slot.  
Before installing your adapter into a PCI bus-master slot, note the following:  
v Some system boards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master and  
subordinate. The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter must be in a PCI bus-master  
slot. (Some system boards have PCI bus-master slots that are shared with  
on-board devices. The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter does not work in shared  
PCI bus-master slots.)  
v PCI connectors vary among system board manufacturers. The FC 4Gbps  
PCI-X Adapter is a 64-Bit PCI device that can function in a 32-Bit PCI  
bus-master slot.  
v The FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter is designed and tested to operate at PCI bus  
speeds up to 66 MHz and PCI-X bus speeds up to 266 MHz.  
v PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the server contains both PCI and  
PCI-X bus-master slots, refer to the documentation that comes with the  
server to determine the slot type.  
7. Remove the expansion slot cover. Before you remove the cover, refer to the  
documentation that comes with the server for specific removal instructions.  
Attention: If you try to install the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter into a PCI  
bus-master slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you might  
damage the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter.  
8. Align the adapter with the expansion slot. Carefully press the adapter into the  
PCI bus-master slot until it is fully seated and secure.

9. Connect one end of an LC-LC Fibre Channel cable to the optical interface  
connector on the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter. Connect the other end to a Fibre  
Channel device.  
10. Carefully install and secure the server cover.  
11. Connect the power cables.  
12. Turn on all external Fibre Channel devices; then, turn on the server. The  
following information is displayed if the server has an Intel® 32-Bit processor  
(IA-32), Intel Extended Memory 64-Bit Technology (EM64T) processor, or an

the EFI driver (instead of BIOS code) and update the NVRAM settings of the  
adapter.  
Notes:  
1. The recommended method of updating the BIOS and the adapter NVRAM  
settings is to use the QLogic SANsurfer Pro Utility software.  
2. For the dual port version of the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter, there is only one  
flash BIOS image for both ports; however, each port will have its own NVRAM  
setting.

Using the QLogic SANsurfer Pro Utility  
This section provides an overview of the QLogic SANsurfer Pro Utility program.  
Experienced users can use this program to customize the configuration of the FC  
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter when it is installed in a server.  
QLogic SANsurfer Pro Utility overview  
The SANsurfer Pro Utility program is used to manage the IBM FC 4Gbps and  
2Gbps PCI-X Adapters (FC HBAs) in a storage area network (SAN). It is a  
network-capable application that can connect to and configure FC 4Gbps PCI-X  
Adapters in remote servers, enabling centralized management and configuration of  
an entire SAN containing components and storage devices.  
You can use the SANsurfer Pro Utility program to manage and control one or more  
adapters that are installed on local or remote systems. The SANsurfer Pro Utility  
program is used, along with problem determination procedures (PDPs), on new or  
existing installations to help diagnose Fibre Channel (FC) subsystem problems in  
adapters, controllers, and devices that are attached to the Fibre Channel fabric or  
loop.  
You can also perform the following operations:  
Disable (unconfigure) a device on a host bus adapter  
When a device is set as unconfigured, it is not recognized by the adapter  
and is not accessible to the adapter on that server.  
Enable a device  
This operation adds a device and makes it accessible to the adapter on that  
system.  
Note: The diagnostic functions of the SANsurfer Pro Utility program are available  
for all supported operating systems.  
SANsurfer Pro Utility features  
Use the SANsurfer Pro Utility program to perform the following tasks:  
v Set the SANsurfer Pro Utility program options  
v Connect to hosts for managing FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapters installed in the hosts  
v Disconnect from a host

SANsurfer Pro utilities  
Within the SANsurfer Pro Utility program, there are other utilities that you can use  
to update I/O expansion card firmware and perform adapter-level configurations on  
a host-connected adapter. Please refer to the online help for more information.  
Notes:  
1. Not all features of the SANsurfer program are supported for all supported  
operating systems. Please refer to the operating system-specific README file  
for information about possible program limitations.  
2. If you are prompted for a password, the default password is config.  
The steps listed in the “Using SANsurfer Pro Update Option ROM Utility to update  
the BIOS” section are generally the correct steps needed to update the NVRAM  
BIOS; however, these steps might not be exact, taking into account all of the  
possible program windows that could be displayed in an exact sequence. Also, if  
you are using a newer version of the SANsurfer program, the steps might have a  
different sequence.  
Using SANsurfer Pro Update Option ROM Utility to update the  
BIOS  
Use the Update Option ROM Utility in the SANsurfer Pro Utility program to update  
the adapter BIOS code. The latest version of 4Gbps Fibre Channel Adapter BIOS  
code is available from http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/. The  
BIOS code file is a binary (.bin) file; for example, q24mfxxx.bin.  
To update the flash BIOS firmware, complete the following steps:  
1. Make sure that the device drivers for the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port  
HBA (PCI-X) Adapters are installed on the host containing the adapters; if the  
correct device drivers are not installed on the host where the adapters reside,  
the SANsurfer program will not list the FC 4Gbps PCI-X adapters. If the server  
where the SANsurfer program is installed is not the host server containing the  
FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapters, make sure that the SANsurfer agent is installed on  
the host server and that the host server’s Ethernet port is in the same IP subnet  
as the server where the SANsurfer program is installed.  
2. Double-click the SANsurfer Pro Utility program icon to start the SANsurfer Pro  
Utility application.  
3. When the Connect to Host window is displayed, click ″Connect,″ to connect to  
the preferred host.  
4. Next, a configuration wizard window displays, asking you to start the wizard.  
Click ″No,″ and the configuration wizard window closes.  
14 IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA: Installation and User’s Guide  
 
 
5. In the SANsurfer FC HBA window, in the ″FC HBA″ tab on the left pane, select  
the port under the newly installed FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapters; the ″Information″  
tab in the right pane displays all the information about the new adapters.  
6. In the row of tabs at the top of the right pane in the SANsurfer program window,  
click on the ″Utilities″ tab. Then, in the center of the Utilities information pane  
you will find seven buttons: click on the ″Update Option ROM″ button. This will  
start the BIOS update. Select the appropriate BIOS file and click ″OK,″ when  
you are prompted to enter the file name of the new BIOS firmware.  
7. When the BIOS has been updated, the Option ROM Save window displays.  
Click ″OK″ to save the changes.  
8. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 to update the BIOS for other FC HBAs in the host  
server. Reboot the server if you have completed the updates; or, proceed to the  
“Using the SANsurfer Pro Update NVRAM Utility to update the NVRAM” section,  
if you want to update the adapter NVRAM.  
Important: Because there is only one BIOS image per adapter, the Update Option  
ROM button will not be enabled when you select the second port of a dual port FC  
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter.  
Using the SANsurfer Pro Update NVRAM Utility to update the  
NVRAM  
Use the Update NVRAM Utility in the SANsurfer Pro Utility program to update the  
adapter NVRAM firmware. The latest version of 4Gbps Fibre Channel Adapter  
NVRAM firmware is available from http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/  
disk/. The NVRAM firmware file is a data (.dat) file; for example, nvram200.dat.  
To update the NVRAM firmware, complete the following steps:  
1. Make sure that the device drivers for the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port  
HBA (PCI-X) Adapters are installed on the host containing the adapters; if the  
correct device drivers are not installed on the host where the adapters reside,  
the SANsurfer program will not list the new adapters. If the server where the  
SANsurfer program is installed is not the host server containing the new  
adapters, make sure that the SANsurfer agent is installed on the host server  
and that the host server’s Ethernet port is in the same IP subnet as the server  
where the SANsurfer program is installed.  
2. Double-click the SANsurfer Pro Utility program icon to start the SANsurfer Pro  
Utility application.  
3. When the Connect to Host window is displayed, click ″Connect,″ to connect to  
the preferred host.  
4. A configuration wizard window displays, asking you to start the wizard. Click  
″No,″ and the configuration wizard window closes.  
5. In the SANsurfer FC HBA window, in the ″FC HBA″ tab on the left pane, select  
the port under the newly installed FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapters; the ″Information″  
tab in the right pane displays all the information about the new adapters.  
6. In the center of the Utilities information pane you will find three buttons: click on  
the ″Update NVRAM″ button.  
7. You are then prompted to enter the file name for the new NVRAM firmware  
update.  
8. Enter the file name of the NVRAM firmware update. Click ″OK″ to complete the  
update, or click ″Cancel″ to cancel the update.  
When you click ″OK,″ the SANsurfer Pro Utility program verifies the content of the  
new file and updates the firmware. If the firmware update fails, an error message  
displays.  
Chapter 2. Installing the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter device drivers and updating the BIOS code 15  
 
 
Important:  
1. Because there are two NVRAM setting areas per dual port FC 4Gbps PCI-X  
Adapter (one NVRAM setting area for each port), you must select each of the  
ports separately and perform the NVRAM update for each port, provided you  
want to update the NVRAM settings on both ports.  
2. Updating the NVRAM firmware resets all of the NVRAM settings to the default.  
After updating the NVRAM firmware, you must reenter all custom configuration  
settings required for your specific operating system.  
Updating the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter BIOS code using the Support  
CD or a BIOS Update Utility diskette  
You can also update the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter BIOS code using the Support  
CD that is shipped with the adapter, or you can create a BIOS Update Utility  
diskette from the Support CD (see the “Creating the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter BIOS  
Update Utility diskette” on page 21 section).  
Whether you want to use the Support CD or the BIOS Update Utility diskette, just  
follow the instructions in the common sections, “Using the flasutil command prompt”  
or “Using the flasutil BIOS Update Utility menu” on page 20. Some of the steps in  
the common sections will be designated for using either the CD or the diskette and  
will be appropriately labeled CD or Diskette.  
To update the DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter BIOS code and NVRAM using the  
BIOS Update Utility on the Support CD, choose one of the following methods:  
v flasutil command prompt. Use this method to type in command-line options.  
v flasutil BIOS Update Utility menu. Use this method to select a command-line  
option from the menu.  
Using the flasutil command prompt  
Complete the following steps to update your DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter  
BIOS code and NVRAM, using the flasutil command prompt.  
1. CD: Insert the IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Host Bus  
Adapter Support CD into the CD-ROM drive. Restart the server. Your server  
starts to a DOS prompt.  
Diskette: Insert the BIOS Update Utility diskette that you created into the  
diskette drive and restart the server. Your server starts to a DOS prompt.  
2. To update the BIOS code in the flash utility, do the following:  
From the DOS prompt, type:  
flasutil /i /FB xxxx /o BiosFirmwarefile.bin  
where  
BiosFirmwarefile.bin  
is the name of the BIOS firmware file (if the BIOS firmware file name is  
omitted, flasutil will look for a firmware file named, ql24rom.bin), and xxxx is  
the adapter address. If xxxx is omitted, then the program will attempt to flash  
all of the adapters in the host with this firmware file.  
Press ″Enter.″  
Caution: If the /FB option is not specified when attempting to flash the FC  
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter BIOS, the BIOS image will not be correctly flashed into  
the adapter’s BIOS area.

Chapter 3. Configuring the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter with  
Fast!UTIL  
This chapter provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who  
want to customize the configuration of the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter and the  
connected fibre-channel devices. You can configure the adapter using the Fast!UTIL  
utility.  
Starting Fast!UTIL  
Important: If the configuration settings are incorrect, the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter  
will not function properly. Do not modify the default configuration settings unless you  
are instructed to do so by an IBM technical support representative or by the  
installation instructions. The default NVRAM settings, which were loaded in the  
adapter at the factory, are for a typical Microsoft Windows installation. See the FC  
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter device driver README file for the appropriate operating  
system to determine the required NVRAM setting modifications for that operating  
system.  
Note: The recommended way to update the BIOS and the adapter NVRAM  
settings is to use the QLogic SANsurfer Pro Management Suite Java™  
software, which can be downloaded from the following Web site:  
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/. Also see “Using the  
QLogic SANsurfer Pro Utility” on page 13  
When the adapter is installed in the server with an Intel 32-Bit processor (IA-32), an  
Intel Extended Memory 64-Bit Technology (EM64T) processor, or an Advanced  
Micro Devices 64-Bit (AMD-64) architecture only, you can access Fast!UTIL by  
pressing Ctrl+Q during the BIOS initialization; it might take a few seconds for the  
Fast!UTIL menu to display. Fast!UTIL prompts you to select the adapter that you  
want to configure. After you change the settings that are described in “Host bus  
adapter settings” on page 24, Fast!UTIL restarts the system to enable the new  
parameters. When the adapter is installed in a server with an Intel 64-Bit processor  
(IA-64), see the README in the DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X HBA EFI driver package,  
for instructions about how to modify the NVRAM adapter settings, or use the  
QLogic SANsurfer Pro Management Suite Java software to modify the NVRAM  
settings.  
Accessing HBA settings through Fast!UTIL  
The Fast!UTIL feature provides access to host bus adapter settings. To access this  
feature, simultaneously press and hold the ALT + Q keys or the Ctrl + Q keys  
during BIOS initialization. It may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to  
appear. If more than one board is installed, Fast!UTIL prompts you to select a board  
to configure. After you change adapter settings, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to  
load the new parameters. Upon entering Fast!UTIL, the following selections are  
available on the Fast!UTIL Options menu:  
v Configuration Settings  
v Scan Fibre Devices  
v Fibre Disk Utility  
v Loopback Test  
v Select Host FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter  
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2006  
23  
 
 
v Exit FASt!UTIL  
You can access the host bus adapter settings through the Configuration Settings  
menu in Fast!UTIL. See “Host bus adapter settings” and“Advanced FC 4Gbps  
PCI-X Adapter Settings” on page 25 for detailed information on the settings.  
Host bus adapter settings  
You can modify most of the host bus adapter settings. The current default settings  
for the host bus adapter are listed in “Advanced FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter Settings”  
on page 25. These settings are described following the table. You can modify the  
following default host bus adapter settings.  
BIOS address  
The BIOS address is the I/O address where the BIOS code is stored when  
you press Ctrl+Q or when you have the BIOS code enabled for starting  
from the root directory. This is the address of the BIOS code in ROM  
shadow memory. Multiple adapters can be installed in the server, but only  
one BIOS instance is loaded for all of the adapters.  
Note: The BIOS code is loaded from the first port of the first adapter that  
the server recognizes. This code is used for all remaining DS4000  
FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single Port and DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Dual  
Port adapters in the same bus or server. The level of BIOS code that  
is loaded does not affect other adapters with earlier BIOS code  
levels.  
Revision  
The BIOS revision is the revision number of the BIOS code that is loaded  
from the first FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter that the server recognizes. Each FC  
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter in the server has the same BIOS code revision  
number because only one BIOS code instance is loaded.  
FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter serial number  
The adapter serial number is located on the noncomponent side of the  
adapter. See Figure 1 on page 3 for the location of the serial number label.  
Interrupt level  
The interrupt level is the interrupt that is used by the FC 4Gbps PCI-X  
Adapter. The interrupt level can change when the operating system is  
installed.  
FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter port name  
This is the worldwide port name.  
Host adapter BIOS  
When this setting is Disabled, the ROM BIOS on the FC 4Gbps PCI-X HBA  
is Disabled, freeing space in upper memory. This setting must be Enabled if  
you are booting from fibre channel disk drive attached to the PCI-X board.  
The default is Disabled.  
Frame size  
This setting specifies the maximum frame length supported by the FC  
4Gbps PCI-X HBA. The default size is 2048, which provides maximum  
performance for F-Port (point-to-point) connections.  
Loop reset delay  
After resetting the loop, the firmware refrains from initiating any loop activity  
for the number of seconds specified in this setting. The default is 5  
seconds.  
24 IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA: Installation and User’s Guide  
 
 
FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter hard loop ID  
This setting forces the adapter to attempt to use the ID specified in the  
Hard Loop ID setting. The default is Disabled.  
Hard loop ID  
If the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter Hard Loop ID setting is Enabled, the  
adapter attempts to use the ID specified in this setting. The default ID is 0.  
You should set this ID to a unique value from 0-125 if there is more than  
one adapter connected to a FC-AL loop, and the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter  
Hard Loop ID setting is Enabled.  
Spin up delay  
When this bit is set, the BIOS will wait up to 5 minutes to find the first drive.  
The default setting is Disabled.  
Connection Options  
This setting defines the type of connection (loop or point to point) or  
connection preference. The default is 2.  
Fibre Channel Tape Support  
This setting enables FCP-2 recovery. The default is Disabled. You should  
change this setting to Disabled if the HBA is connected to a DS4000  
storage server. The DS4000 storage server does not support a tape device  
through the same Fibre-Channel HBA from the host server.  
Data Rate  
This setting determines the data rate. When this setting is 0, the FC 4Gbps  
PCI-X HBA runs at 1Gbps. When this setting is 1, the FC 4Gbps PCI-X  
HBA runs at 2Gbps. When this setting is 2, Fast!UTIL determines what rate  
your system can accommodate and sets the rate accordingly. The default is  
2 (auto-configure). When the setting is 3, the FC 4Gbps PCI-X HBA runs at  
4Gbps.

Advanced FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter Settings  
Access the following advanced host bus adapter settings through the Configuration  
Settings menu in Fast!UTIL and select Advanced FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter  
Settings. The default settings for the FC 4Gbps PCI-X HBA are as follows:  
Execution Throttle  
This setting specifies the maximum number of commands executing on any  
one port. When the execution throttle of a port is reached, no new  
commands are executed until the current command finishes executing. The  
valid options for this setting are 1-256. The default is 256.  
LUNs per Target  
This setting specifies the number of LUNs per target. Multiple LUN support  
is typically for redundant array of independent disks (RAID) servers that use  
LUNs to map drives. The default is 256.  
Chapter 3. Configuring the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter with Fast!UTIL 25  
 
 
Enable LIP Reset  
This setting determines the type of loop initialization process (LIP) reset that  
is used when the operating system initiates a bus reset routine. When this  
setting is Yes, the driver initiates a global LIP reset to clear the target  
device reservations. When this setting is No, the driver initiates a global LIP  
reset with full login. The default is No.  
Enable LIP Full Login  
This setting instructs the ISP chip to log in again to all ports after any LIP.  
The default is Yes.  
Enable Target Reset  
This setting enables the drivers to issue a Target Reset command to all  
devices on the loop when a SCSI Bus Reset command is issued. The  
default is Yes.  
Login Retry Count  
This setting specifies the number of times the software tries to log in to a  
device. The default is 30 retries for Microsoft Windows Operating System  
environment. Please review the device driver README for the correct  
setting in other operating system environments.  
Port Down Retry Count  
This setting specifies the number of seconds that the software waits before  
it retries a command to a port returning port down status. The default is 30  
seconds. In a DS4000 storage server configuration with the maximum  
number of drive expansion enclosures or in MCSC configurations, you  
should increase this setting to 70.  
Link Down Timeout  
This setting specifies the number of seconds the software that the software  
waits for a link down to come up. The default is 30 seconds.  
Extended Error Logging  
This setting provides additional error and debug information to the operating  
system. When enabled, events are logged into the Windows Event Viewer.  
The default is Disabled.  
Operation Mode  
This setting specifies the reduced interrupt operation (RIO) modes, if  
supported by the software driver. RIO modes allow posting multiple  
command completions in a single interrupt. The default is 0.  
Interrupt Delay Timer  
This setting contains the value (in 100-microsecond increments) that is  
used by a timer to set the wait time between accessing (DMA) a set of  
handles and generating an interrupt. The default is 0.  
Selectable boot settings  
When you set the Selectable Boot Settings option to Enabled, you can select the  
worldwide port name of the fibre-channel hard disk from which you want to start up  
(boot). When this option is set to Enabled, the node starts from the selected  
fibre-channel hard disk, ignoring any IDE or SCSI hard disks that are attached to  
your server. When this option is set to Disabled, the Boot ID and Boot LUN  
parameters have no effect.  
The BIOS code in some new systems supports selectable start up, which  
supersedes the Fast!UTIL selectable start up setting. To start from a fibre-channel  
26 IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA: Installation and User’s Guide  
 
 
hard disk that is attached to the DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X, select the attached  
fibre-channel hard disk from the system BIOS menu.  
Note: The Selectable Boot Settings option for the DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X  
applies to only fibre-channel hard disk drives.  
Restore default settings  
You can use the Restore Default Settings option to restore the DS4000 FC 4Gbps  
PCI-X default settings and NVRAM.  
The default NVRAM settings are the adapter settings that were saved the last time  
an NVRAM update operation was run from the BIOS Update Utility program (option  
U or command line /U switch). If the BIOS Update Utility program has not been  
used to update the default NVRAM settings since the adapter was installed, the  
factory settings are loaded.  
Note: After selecting Restore default settings, check the NVRAM settings (for  
example the host bus adapter and advanced adapter settings) against the  
values that are recommended in this document and in the device driver  
READMEs for the appropriate operating system.  
Raw NVRAM data  
You can use the Raw NVRAM Data option to display the adapter NVRAM contents  
in hexadecimal format. This is a troubleshooting tool. You cannot modify the data.  
Scan fibre-channel devices  
You can use the Scan Fibre Channel Devices option to scan the fibre-channel loop  
and list all the connected devices by loop ID. Information about each device is  
listed, for example, vendor name, product name, and revision. This information is  
useful when you are configuring your DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X and attached  
devices.  
Fibre-channel disk utility  
Attention: When you perform a low-level format, it removes all data on the disk.  
You can use the Fibre Channel Disk Utility option to scan the fiber-channel loop bus  
and list all the connected devices by loop ID. You can select a disk device and  
perform a low-level format or verify the disk media or data.  
Loopback data test  
You can use the Loopback Data Test option to verify the basic transmit and receive  
functions of the adapter. A fiber-channel loopback connector option must be  
installed into the optical interface connector on the DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X before  
starting the test.

Chapter 5. Troubleshooting  
The following four types of installation problems might cause your DS4000 FC  
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter to function incorrectly:  
v Hardware problems  
v Software problems  
v System configuration problems  
v Fibre Channel problems  
If you are having problems, use the following information to help you determine the  
cause of the problem and the action to take.  
Note: Additional troubleshooting and debugging procedures are available in the  
IBM System Storage DS4000 Hardware Maintenance Manual and IBM  
System Storage DS4000 Problem Determination Guide at  
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/.  
Hardware problems  
To determine if your installation problem is caused by the hardware, perform the  
following tasks:  
v Verify that all cables are attached securely to the correct connectors. Be sure  
that one end of the LC-LC Fibre Channel cable is attached to the optical  
interface connector (located at J1 on the adapter) and that the other end is  
connected to the Fibre Channel device.  
v Verify that the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter is installed correctly and is fully seated  
in the expansion slot. Check for interference due to nonstandard PCI connectors.  
v Verify that the Fast!UTIL data-rate setting is correct. The Fast!UTIL data-rate  
setting must match the speed of the device to which you are connected. See  
“Host bus adapter settings” on page 24.  
v Verify that all peripheral devices are turned on. See “Fibre Channel problems” on  
page 32 for information about displaying attached Fibre Channel devices.  
v Verify that the adapter is ServerProven™ for the server model in which the  
adapter is installed. Verify that the latest BIOS is installed in the server.  
Software problems  
To determine if your installation problem is caused by the software, perform the  
following tasks:  
v Verify that the correct device driver is installed.  
v Verify that your adapter is at the correct BIOS version.  
v Verify that you have the correct adapter NVRAM settings for your Storage Area  
Network (SAN) and operating system.  
System configuration problems  
To determine if your installation problem is caused by the system configuration,  
check your server to ensure that it is configured properly. For more information, see  
“Host bus adapter settings” on page 24.  
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2006  
31  
 
 
Note: All PCI-compliant and PCI-X-compliant systems automatically detect 32-Bit  
or 64-Bit adapters and set the appropriate bus speed (for example, 66 MHz  
or 133 MHz).  
If you still have a system configuration problem, refer to the documentation that  
comes with your server, or contact your IBM technical-support representative to  
determine if your system board requires special configuration.  
Fibre Channel problems  
To determine if your installation problem is caused by an attached Fibre Channel  
device, perform the following tasks:  
v Verify that all of the Fibre Channel devices were turned on before you turned on  
the server.  
v Ensure that all cables are connected properly.  
v Verify that you configured your RAID storage subsystems using the utilities  
provided by the manufacturer.  
v If your Fibre Channel switch supports zoning, make sure that your peripheral  
device is configured to the same switch zone as the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter.  
For more information, refer to your Fibre Channel switch documentation.  
In certain cases where the target device may not be able to auto-negotiate the  
Fibre-channel data rate properly, make sure that data rate setting on the FC 4Gbps  
PCI-X HBA matches the target device. For example, if the target device is operating  
at 2Gbps, set the FC 4Gbps PCI-X HBA data rate to 2Gbps.

less than the maximum possible.  
When referring to processor storage, real and virtual storage, or channel volume,  
KB stands for approximately 1024 bytes, MB stands for approximately 1 000 000  
bytes, and GB stands for approximately 1 000 000 000 bytes.  
When referring to hard disk drive capacity or communications volume, MB stands  
for 1 000 000 bytes, and GB stands for 1 000 000 000 bytes. Total user-accessible  
capacity may vary depending on operating environments.  
Maximum internal hard disk drive capacities assume the replacement of any  
standard hard disk drives and population of all hard disk drive bays with the largest  
currently supported drives available from IBM.

Disposal  
This unit must be recycled or discarded according to applicable local and national  
regulations. IBM encourages owners of information technology (IT) equipment to  
responsibly recycle their equipment when it is no longer needed. IBM offers a  
variety of product return programs and services in several countries to assist  
equipment owners in recycling their IT products. Information on IBM product  
recycling offerings can be found on IBM’s Internet site at http://www.ibm.com/ibm/

Notice: This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and  
Norway.  
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC  
concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive  
determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as  
applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products  
to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end  
of life per this Directive.  
In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic  
equipment (EEE) is to be collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or  
recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the  
WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted  
municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the  
return, recycling and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to  
minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to  
the potential presence of hazardous substances in EEE. For proper collection and  
treatment, contact your local IBM representative.
