connectors—an SFP connector and an HSSDC2 connector—at each end, as shown in the
illustration below.

Follow these steps to connect the system to Xserve or a Power Mac G4.

1

If necessary, install the adapter card in the server or computer.

2

Connect the SFP connectors on both fibre channel cables to the connectors on the card.

The plastic latch should be on top as you insert the SFP connector into the card.
