Provide cascade connection for FC Switch Modules according to the following procedure:
1.Check the locations of FC Switch Modules subjected to cascade connection and confirm that SFP modules are installed on the ports for the connection.
Install SFP modules if not installed.
2.Check the internal settings of the additional FC Switch Modules to connect.
Zoning should not be set.
If set, always disable all zoning configurations to delete them completely.
After deleting the zone configurations, save the new zone configurations by using the "cfgSave" command.
For how to delete zone information, see "Setting zoning" in "Appendix FC Switch Module Setting Features".
If an additional introduced FC Switch Module is made cascade connection to the FC Switch Modules in operation, delete the zone information only in the additional FC Switch Module to connect.
If the Zone information of the FC Switch Module used in the system operated,
system failure or data destruction may occur. The Zone information of the FC Switch Module in the system operated must not be deleted.
The Zone information set in the FC Switch Module operated is transmitted to the FC Switch Module subjected to cascade connection and becomes effective.
3.Disable FC Switch Modules to be connected by using the "switchDisable" command.

4.Change the domain IDs of FC Switch Modules to be connected.
For how to change domain IDs, see the domain ID setting feature in "Appendix FC Switch Module Setting Features".
5.Connect FC Switch Modules with each other through an FC cable.
6.Make disabled FC Switch Modules effective by using the "switchEnable" command.
