Apple Xserve RAID - Manual (Page 40)

Connecting Xserve RAID to a Host System and a Network 41
If the switch or hub doesn’t accept an SFP connector, use a fibre channel cable with a
connector that is compatible with it.
3 Connect the HSSDC2 connectors on the cables to the RAID controllers on the Xserve RAID
system.
The latch on the cable’s connector should be at the top as you insert it into the controller.
Removing Cables From the Xserve RAID and Host Systems
The connectors on fibre channel cables may require special handling when you remove them
from the RAID controller or fibre channel card. Follow these steps to remove a fibre channel
cable.
1 Push the cable’s connector inward slightly, then squeeze the latch release and gently remove
the cable.
2 If you have difficulty squeezing the latch release, use a small flat tool, such as a tiny
screwdriver or the end of the cover for the card opening, to depress the latch release.
