Installing
the
storage
subsystem
configuration
Using
the
information
gathered
in
the
previous
sections,
install
the
host
systems
and
host
adapters.
Notes:
1.
See
the
documentation
provided
with
your
host
adapters
for
installation
requirements
and
procedures.
2.
Use
the
correct
host
adapter
driver.
For
the
latest
supported
host
adapters
and
drivers,
go
to
the
following
Web
site:
www.pc.ibm.com/support
Attach
fiber-optic
interface
cables
to
each

You
will
connect
the
other
end
of
the
cables
to
the
controller
later
in
the
installation
process.
For
more
information
about
handling
fiber-optic
cables,
see

Note:
Do
not
install
the

software
at
this
time,
if
it
is
not
already
installed.
Install
the
storage
subsystem
completely
before
you
install
the

installation
until
