Connecting One MEDIArray ZX to Two 1-Gb MEDIASwitches
A single MEDIArray ZX can connect to one 1-Gb MEDIASwitch if it has one
Fibre Channel board or two 1-Gb MEDIASwitches if it has two Fibre Channel
boards. When you use two Fibre Channel boards each Fibre Channel board
must connect to a different MEDIASwitch of the same speed.The cabling for
figure
“One MEDIArray ZX and Two 1-Gb MEDIASwitches”
uses the
standard duplex 3 meter LC/SC cables.
The cabling connections are:

maximum number of
MEDIArray ZXs per
Unity system.
•
The LC end of Duplex Cable 1 (LC/SC) connects to one Fibre Channel
board in the MEDIArray ZX and the SC end of the cable connects to a
port in MEDIASwitch 2.
•
The LC end of Duplex Cable 2 (LC/SC) connects to the other Fibre
Channel board in the MEDIArray ZX and the SC end of the cable
connects to a port in MEDIASwitch 1.
