Testing Fibre Channel Optical Cable

Caution

If the Fibre Channel cable is extremely long it may be more practical to replace the Fibre Channel device first; then if the problem is not resolved, replace the cable.

Step 1. If the cables are already removed, reattach them.

Attach matching cable ends (red-to-red or ‘A’-to-’A’ and so on) to both slots of the Fibre Channel port.

Step 2. Substituting the Fibre Channel slot number for x, from the service terminal enter the fcSlotTest x command.
