Fibre Channel loop and ID settings

When you install a hard disk drive in the storage subsystem, the drive tray plugs

into a printed circuit board called the midplane. The midplane sets the Fibre

Channel loop ID automatically, based on the enclosure ID switch setting and the

physical location (bay) of the hard disk drive.

Working with SFPs and fiber-optic cables

Each RAID controller has up to four single-ported host channel connections

(depending on the configuration you ordered) and two dual-ported drive channel

connections. ASmall Form-factor Pluggable transceiver (SFP) connects each host

channel port and drive channel port to hosts and storage expansion enclosures.

Note: The SFPs are preinstalled in the DS5020.

The SFP is inserted into the port, and then a fiber-optic cable is inserted into the

SFP.The other end of the fiber-optic cable connects to an external device. SFPs

are laser products.
