Cabling Requirements of Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters
U525 and U526 Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters 3-5
NOTES
1. If the EMC Support Matrix points to the QLogic Web
site for the latest adapter driver, search for the driver
under the QLogic product name for the adapter.
2. If you need to upgrade the NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM)
on the optical Fibre Channel PCI adapter, contact
NEC Technical Support or your authorized Service
Representative.
Cabling Requirements of Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters Each optical Fibre Channel PCI adapter requires a Fibre Channel optical cable, which
is supplied with the storage system.
WARNING
!When fiber-optic connectors are not connected, place
the connector covers over the fiber-optic connectors
to prevent injury to eyes or skin.
NOTE
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. Figure3-2 illustrates 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.
