Connecting the Shelf

 

4. Connect the shelves using the supplied cables.

 

– For the first shelf:

 

Insert an SFP into the In port of each of the two I/O modules at the back of the shelf

 

to convert them to optical ports, making sure that the SFP has the correct position

 

before inserting it.

 

Plug in one end of the optical cable to the In port of the lower I/O module on your

 

shelf.

 

Plug the other end into the Fibre Channel (FC) port labeled 0a on the storage con-

 

troller.

 

Connect one end of the second optical cable into the In port of the upper I/O mod-

 

ule of your shelf.

 

Connect the other end to the second FC port on your storage system, labeled 0b.

 

– For additional shelves:

 

Insert an SFP into the In port of each of the two I/O modules at the back of the shelf

 

to convert them to optical ports, making sure that the SFP has the correct position

 

before inserting it. Repeat this for the Out port of the last shelf in your existing loop.

 

Connect one end of the SFP-SFP cable to the In port of the upper I/O module in your

 

new disk shelf.

 

Connect the other end to the Out port of the upper I/O module of the last shelf in

 

your existing loop.
