Connecting the Fibre Channel Cables Fibre Channel cables provide the I/O path to the disk array. The Fibre Channel cable connects the controller enclosure directly to a host, or to a hub. For information on Fibre Channel host adapters supported on Windows NT and Windows 2000, check the Host Adapter folder on the HP Storage Manager 60 CD. To connect the Fibre Channel cables to the array, complete the following steps: Note It is advisable to select Fibre Channel cables that are as close as possible to the proper length for the installation. 1. Connect a fibre optic cable to a host or hub. Locate the appropriate connector on the adapter card. Remove the optical cover and connect the fibre optic cable. Refer to the appropriate system documentation for additional information. Note When plugging the Fibre Cable connector into the adapter, push the plug into the connector until it snaps into the connector. There is a slight amount of slack in the connection which may prevent the connector from making an optimal connection. After plugging the plug into the connector, grab the cable just behind the plug and push lightly inward to ensure a good optical connection. 2. Plug a media interface adapter (MIA) into the Fibre Channel connectors on the controller enclosure (Figure 65, connectors J3 and J4). Make sure that the RFI gaskets are installed between the MIA and the controller connector. Tighten the two screws in each MIA. 162 Connecting the Fibre Channel Cables
