Attaching Media
Note: The HBA will not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible laser product (that is, multimode to multimode.)
Use multimode fiber optic cable, with

To attach media to the HBA:
1. Connect the fiber optic cable to the LC connectors on the HBA.
Figure 3: Connecting Fiber Optic Cables
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Fibre Channel device.
After the media is connected to the HBA, you are ready to apply power to the computer.
