TYPICAL FIBRE CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

CAUTION:

DO NOT bend the LC (optical) cable beyond the cable's minimum bend radius,

data transmission degradation may occur. Follow cable manufacturer's

guidelines for bend radius limitation.

WARNING:

DO NOT look directly into the open end of an active LC (optical) cable or optical

SFP module (with plugs removed)! Serious eye damage can occur from direct

exposure to the infrared light!

NOTES:

The configuration and use of the InfoStation JBOD Controller requires a certain

level of expertise and experience on the part of the user/integrator. Since there

are many configuration options and variables (ie. host platforms, applications,

etc.), only general guidelines will be discussed in this User's Guide.

LC (optical) SFP Modules support both 2Gbps and 1Gbps operation.
