Overview

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G is a reliable, high-performance serial

I/O storage interface for servers. The serial nature of Fibre Channel

brings the flexibility and ease of Local Area Network (LAN)

connectivity to storage attachment, introducing the idea of Storage

Area Networks (SAN). Fibre Channel simplifies the physical

configuration issues related to the I/O channel. Peripherals may be

positioned at considerable distances from the server (depending on

cabling media) for convenience or for data security. More reliable in

data transfer than conventional LAN, Fibre Channel offers Gigabit

performance and greater device connectivity than parallel SCSI. The

Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G provides the I/O channel scalability

required for continuous growth in storage capacity and availability

needs.

Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G User’s Reference

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G is a PCI to Fibre Channel controller

card that provides a one Gigabit serial interface between a server

and a Fibre Channel storage system. The cabling between the

storage system and the interface card can be either fiber optic or

copper.

Features

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G features an internal and external

connector interface.The external interface requires the installation of

a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) module before connecting the

Fibre Channel cables. The GBIC is connected to a GBIC receptacle on

the adapter. See GBIC Overview on page 6.

The internal connector interface uses the High Speed Serial Data

Connector (HSSDC). For a list of these cable assemblies, see Fibre

Channel Cable Assemblies and GBIC on page 22.

The internal HSSDC interface can be used to attach Fibre Channel

storage devices inside the server. The external and internal

connector interfaces can be used simultaneously or individually.

When both interfaces are used, the two segments are part of one

Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop.

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G supports Point to Point, Arbitrated

Loop, and Fabric topologies, Class 3 services, and hardware assists

for the SCSI FCP protocol. The SCSI FCP protocol allows the use of

the standard Windows NT SCSI miniport interface. If configured as

an Arbitrated Loop, you can use both internal and external

connectors simultaneously. With a Point to Point connection, only

one of the two connectors can be used. For more information on

Point to Point and N_port connections to Fabric, see N_port support:

on page 16.

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G installs into a standard PCI

(Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot. This adapter 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 9110G is a PCI Bus Master device

and requires a PCI Bus Mastering slotthat conforms to the PCI Local

Bus Specifications, version 2.1.

System Requirements

The minimum system requirements for the Adaptec Fibre Card

9110G are:

For Windows NT Systems

■A Pentium or higher system that is PCI 2.1 compliant

■Windows NT®4.0 installed with at least service pack 4

■Minimum recommended system memory is 32 MB

For Windows 2000 Systems

■A Pentium or higher system that is PCI 2.1 compliant

■Windows 2000®installed

■Minimum recommended system memory is 64 MB

Cable and GBIC Requirements

A Fibre Channel cable is required. To use the external connector, the

cable should match the GBIC module used. The Adaptec Fibre Card

9110G provides an additional internal connector. To use the internal

connector, a Fibre Channel copper cable that has a HSSDC on one

end and a connector interface for the internal Fibre Channel storage

subsystem on the other end is required. For a list of cable assemblies,

see Fibre Channel Cable Assemblies and GBIC on page 22.

Installing the Hardware

Before installing the Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G into your server or

workstation, make sure that the system is powered down. If your

system supports hot plug PCI, see PCI Hot Plug Support on page 19.

Installing the Adapter in the PCI Slot

Install the Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G in any bus mastering PCI

version 2.1 slot. The following generalized installation steps pertain

to most PCI installations. Most system chassis are either vertical or

horizontal orientated, therefore, you should install your card

depending on the orientation of your system. See Figure 2 on page 6.

Consult your server or workstation manual for PCI card installation.

1Turn OFF power to your system.

2Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the

Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G by touching a grounded metal

object (such as the exposed metal parts on the back of your

computer).

3Remove the cover from your computer.

4Locate an empty 64-bit PCI expansion slot in your system. If

the computer does not have a 64-bit slot, you can install the

card in a 32-bit PCI slot.

5Remove the expansion slot cover. (Save the slot cover screw.)

6Insert the Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G into the slot until it is

firmly and evenly seated in the PCI connector.

WARNING: Be careful when inserting the Adaptec Fibre Card

9110G into a PCI slot. Some older 32-bit slots do not

accomodate 64-bit cards, and the card or slot may break if

you use force.

7Replace the slot cover screw.

GBIC Overview

A GBIC converts internal electrical signals to external electrical or

optical signals for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The

Fibre Channel cable inserts into the connector of the GBIC module.

There are several types of GBIC modules currently available that can

be used in the Adaptec Fibre Card 9110G. GBICs are hot pluggable,

which means they can be plugged into, or pulled out of the adapter

while the power is applied. GBICs are available from qualified third-

party vendors.

WARNING: Do not remove or insert the adapter while power

is applied. If you do switch GBICs while the system is

powered up, make sure the adapter is secured in the PCI

slot. If the adapter is not secured in the PCI slot, damage

may occur to the adapter and possibly the system’s logic

board.
