Installation of DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter
- Install the EMULEX LightPulse PCI/PCI-X/PCIe FDDI adapter (see below for a list of supported models) the DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter to some spare PCI /PCI-X/PCIe slot slot of the host system
- Boot a Windows operating systemInstall the EMULEX LightPulse PCI/PCI-X/PCIe FDDI adapter driver from the following directory
- Open “Computer Management”
- Select “Device Manager”
- In the right window select the desired physical FDDI adapter connected to the system, right-click the mouse button, and the corresponding menu will appear.
- From the menu select “Update driver…”. Windows will show “Hardware Upgrade Wizard”
- Select “No, not this time”, click “Next”
- Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)”, click “Next”
- Select “Don’t search. I will choose the driver to install”, click “Next”
- Click “Have Disk…”. Windows shows dialog “Install From Disk”
- Instead of “A:\”, click “Browse” and select path to the folder in which driver’s INF file is located (typically "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Drivers\EMULEXDEFPA_X.X.0.XXXXX" by choosing the "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" option and then selecting the "emulex_lp), select “defpa_ppt_amd64.inf" file.inf”, and click “Open”
- The “Hardware Upgrade Wizard” should have “CHARON DEFPA FDDI adapter”. Select it, and click “Next”
- There will be one or two more dialogs, but they are usual for device driver installation.
- Reboot the host
Upon completion, a new device will appear in the device manager with the CHARON logo on it.

Mapping to host DEFPA PCI FDDI adapter
There are 2 ways of getting the required parametrs for mapping virtual DEFPA to EMULEX LightPulse PCI/PCI-X/PCIe FDDI adapter plugged into host’s PCI/PCI-X/PCIe slot:
- Usage of "HOST Device Check" utility. Follow the link for details.
- Collecting the parameters directly using "Device Manager" applet
To collect the parameters directly using "Device Manager" applet:
Open “Computer Management” application and select “Device Manager”:

Open its property properties sheet by double-click clicking on the selected adapter:
The “Location:” on the above picture gives X, Y, and Z for the "host_bus_location" parameter, for example:

Non-US-EN installations of Windows may present “Location:” string in local language, but "host_bus_location" parameter requires English notation, so the words “PCI”, “bus”, “device”, and “function” must be specified in English.
