The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP provides a 2 gigabit interface
between a server and a Fibre Channel storage system and installs
into a standard PCI slot. The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP optical
and Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LPC copper adapters supports a
high-performance 64-bit and 66 MHz PCI bus (backward
compatible to 32-bit and 33 MHz). The PCI bus provides a high-
speed (up to 528 MBps) path between the system board and the
Fibre Channel adapter. The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP is a PCI
Bus Master device and requires a PCI BusMastering slot that
conforms to the PCI Local Bus Specifications, version 2.2 or
previous versions.

Locate an unused 64-bit PCI expansion slot and remove the
expansion slot cover. If the computerdoes not have a 64-bit slot,
you can install the card in a 32-bit PCI slot.
Select a PCI expansionslot. Savethe slotcover screw for use in
Step 4.
Computers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots.
Refer to your computer manual to locate the PCI slots. If your
computer is a tower model, place it on its side to make it easier to
install the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP.

STEP 2
For optical Fibre Channel cables, support the cable
so that you do not have a bend radius of less than 3 inches.
For optical and copper Fibre Channel cables,
support and route the cable to prevent damage from sharp
edges or from being crushed by nearby equipment.

Installation Guide
You can verify the adapter and cable installation by powering up
the system and looking at the two LEDs on the bulkhead of the
adapter. Under normal operation, the LEDs operate as follows:
Upon Power-Up
•PWR/ACT LED is on
•LNK LED is off
During Card Initialization by the Host OS
•PWR/ACT LED will flash as Fibre Channel devices are
identified
•LNK LED is off
Once the Card has been Initialized by the Host OS
•PWR/ACT LED will flash at one second intervals
•LNK LED is on if the link is up
