Connecting devices and completing the setup

2

If you change your mind abou t the number of devices you wa nt to connect, you can click the

Previous button and adjust the values you have selected in the device type lists on the Specify

Devices window. You must always select at least as many devices of each type as have been

connected, and you must also connect as many devices of each type as you have selected. On the

Configure Ports and Connect Devices window, you can also pre-reserve some additional currently

unoccupied ports for future HBA or storage connections. These additional reservations are also

reflected in the zoning scheme, and are shown on the Display Devices window in the EZManager

application to remind you where these additional devices can be connected. The default

reservation type is HBA.

FIGURE 16 Configure Ports and Connect Devices window

When you click Next on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices window, if Typical Zoning is used,

the final set of connection reservations shown on the screen is translated internally into a zoning

scheme that ensures that every correctly connected host device can communicate separately with

every correctly connected storage device. If this is not what you want (for example, if you want to

partition your devices so that each HBA can communicate with some storage devices but not

others), then you should re-run the Setup wizard and select Custom Zoning or Advanced Zoning

instead of Typical Zoning.

Use the following procedure to make the physical connections.

1. Install the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports shown

onscreen. (See Figure17 on page 23.)

a. Remove any protector plugs from the SFP transceivers to be used.

b. Position and insert each SFP transceiver as required (right side up in the top row of ports

and upside down in the bottom row of ports) until it is firmly seated.

c. Close the latching bale.
