described for your installation on the following pages, and
cable your system based on the diagrams shown.
a
Connect the required fibre channel data cable(s) to the host
system’s fibre channel host bus adapter port connector(s).
b
Connect the other end of those fibre channel data cable(s) to
the storage enclosure host channel ports on the host I/O
card(s) as indicated.
4
Power on your storage subsystem. See
Turning the Power On
on
page 2-7
for instructions.
5
Once everything is powered on, you may need to set the
