Chapter 1. Overview Use a Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI Adapter (Type 4-S) to make high-speed connections between stand-alone system units and storage servers on a Fibre Channel network at speeds up to one Gigabit per second. This adapter requires a PCI 2.1, 32-bit, 33 MHz slot. Use a 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter for 64-bit PCI Bus (Type 4-W) to make high-speed connections between stand-alone system units and storage servers on a Fibre Channel network at speeds up to two gigabits per second.
2 Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter for 64-bit PCI Bus (Type 4-W) v 2 Gigabit per second Fibre Channel Interface v PCI Bus Compatible (64-bit or 32-bit slot) Note: The adapter will operate with a decrease in performance in a 32-bit slot. v Supports Short Wave Optics (non-OFC) v Upgradable microcode (See your system user’s guide or contact your service representative) 1.
2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter (Type 5704) v 2125Mb/s Fibre Channel Interface v PCI Bus Compatible (32-bit slot) v Supports Short Wave Optics (non-OFC) v Upgradable microcode (See your system user’s guide or contact your service representative) 1.

Chapter 4. Installing the Device Driver Software on an RS/6000 SP System This chapter explains how to install the device driver on an AIX SP system on which AIX is already installed. Note: If the adapter was installed prior to the installation of the AIX operating system, do not continue with this section.
Setting Up and Checking System Prerequisites Each Fibre Channel adapter requires a different device driver. To determine the correct device driver for your adapter, see the following table.

Press Enter. 3. Select Devices. Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter Configuration To configure the Gigabit Fibre Channel (FC) Adapter, do the following: 1. Select the FC Adapter section. FC Adapter Configurable Options are displayed on the screen. 2. Select Change/Show Characteristics. A list of configurable FC Adapter options is displayed.
INIT Link Flags: This option is available for AIX 5.1 and later. This must be configured for AL (Arbitrated Loop) mode. Applying Changes to Database Only The default is No for the Apply Changes to Database Only field. If the field is No, the ODM database is changed and the device is unconfigured and reconfigured.
Page 29
If the field is Yes, only the ODM database is changed. Configuration changes are not applied to the device until it is unconfigured and reconfigured, or the system is rebooted. Information Fields The rest of the FC SCSI Protocol Device’s Change/Show Characteristics screen contains the following information: FC SCSI virtual device: Adapter’s identification as a virtual device.
