Label each cable that you attach to a PCI adapter, noting the host name, I/O element number, PCI slot number, and port number (if applicable) to which the cable connector attaches.

At one end, the Fibre Channel optical cable has an LC connector (male), which attaches to the optical Fibre Channel PCI adapter itself. Figure 3-2illustrates an LC connector (male). The connector at the other end of the cable depends on the model of the CLARiiON or Symmetrix storage system that EMC supplies. The correct type of cable is supplied with the storage system.
