To connect to the Fibre Channel port:

1Be sure the enclosure power is turned off.

2Connect one end of the Fibre Channel cable to the FC port on the enclosure.

3Connect the other end of the Fibre Channel cable to a server’s HBA or to an arbitrated loop hub or fabric switch.

4Turn power on and begin configuration.

Connecting to the RS-232 Port

You use the RS-232 port to update the firmware, configure, and monitor the controller using a VT-100/ANSI computer with a terminal emulator.

Refer to your enclosure documentation for information about the correct type of cable to use. Use a 9-pin straight-through cable. A null modem cable does not work.
