To connect a host adapter to the RAID controller, do the following:
1. Install a GBIC in the host port on the RAID controller.

switches. The following illustration shows the location on the RAID controllers
where the host-system cables connect.
For examples of redundant, partially-redundant, and non-redundant host and drive
