9. Replace the computer case and tighten the case screws.

The HBA is now installed in the computer and is ready for media attachment.

▼To Connect the Optical Cable

Note – The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel product (that is, multimode to multimode).

Use multimode fiber-optic cable, intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications in TABLE 2-1.
