The drive modules and command modules support Fibre Channel connections to the command modules. They have four gigabit interface converter (GBIC) connectors, two on each ESM or controller. The connectors may be fiber optic or copper. The type of connector depends on what type of drive interface you ordered and what type of cable you are using to attach the drive module or command module to the command module.
If you ordered optical GBIC connectors, you will need fiber optic cable. If you ordered copper GBIC connectors, you will need copper wire cable. Table 15 lists the types and lengths of cable available from your local dealer.
