Cabling Requirements of Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters

Each optical Fibre Channel PCI adapter requires a Fibre Channel optical cable, which
is supplied with the storage system.

!

When fiber-optic connectors are not connected, place
the connector covers over the fiber-optic connectors
to prevent injury to eyes or skin.

N O T E

Label each cable that you attach to a PCI adapter, noting
the host name, I/O element number, PCI slot number, and
port number (if applicable) to which the cable connector
attaches.

At one end, the Fibre Channel optical cable has an LC connector (male), which
attaches to the optical Fibre Channel PCI adapter itself.

Figure 3-2

illustrates an LC

connector (male). The connector at the other end of the cable depends on the model
of the CLARiiON

or Symmetrix

storage system that EMC supplies. The correct type of

cable is supplied with the storage system.
