Emulex LPe31000-Series and LPe32000-Series Adapters
Quick Installation
Guide
5. Secure the adapter mounting bracket to the case with a panel screw or clip.
6. Replace the computer case and tighten the case screws.
The adapter is now installed in the server and is ready for an FC device.
2.3 Attaching the Media
NOTE:
The adapter does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or
compatible laser product (that is, multi-mode to multi-mode).
The adapter does not automatically downgrade to the required FC speed based on cable length. You must
downgrade the speed with the appropriate utility, or link errors may occur.
Use a multi-mode fiber-optic cable with short-wave lasers that adheres to the specifications shown in
Table 3
:
Use a single-mode fiber-optic cable with long-wave lasers that adheres to the specifications shown in
Table 4
:
NOTE:
The table specifies the physical maximum cable length. However, you must note that the maximum cable length is
a trade-off with performance based on the FC credits from both the FC link partners.
