Connecting a Fibre-Optic Switch or Fibre Channel Host

Connect to your fibre-optic switch or Fibre Channel host as follows:

3.Connect the other end of the Port 0 cable as follows:

•For a direct attach configuration — to the host server’s host bus adapter (HBA).

If the HBA is not yet installed in the host server, use your device-specific documentation to install the HBA in your host, then connect the SP.

•For a storage area network (SAN) configuration — to a Fibre Channel switch port.
