Connecting Xserve RAID to a Switch or Hub
You can connect the system to a switch or hub that has fibre channel ports. (See “Xserve RAID Hardware Connections” on page 79 for an example of this type of connection.)
If you connect the Xserve RAID system to a fibre channel switch or hub, you may supply your own cables.
1Verify that the switch or hub is compatible with Xserve RAID.
Check the Xserve website for a list of compatible switches: www.apple.com/xserve.
2Connect the SFP connectors on both fibre channel cables to the corresponding connectors on the switch or hub.
