Attaching the Adapter to Other Fibre Channel Devices

To attach the adapter to other Fibre Channel devices, follow these steps:

1.Remove the Fibre Channel host bus adapter’s optical port protector (if included).

2.Attach a connector cable to the Fibre Channel host bus adapter.

a.Align the slotted plug with the keyed connector.

b.Push the connector in until you hear it click.

3.Attach the free end of the cable to a compatible Fibre Channel device.

4.Reconnect the power cord, if necessary, and power on the system.

Table 2-3 lists the Fibre Channel cables that you can use when connecting devices to Fibre Channel host bus adapters.

Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation

To verify that your Fibre Channel Adapter has been correctly installed, follow these steps:

1.Enter the following command: ioscan -f

2.Verify that the correct drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all drivers display, proceed to the next section, “Verifying Connectivity” (page 17).
