connect the LC connector into one of the following devices that require SC
connectors:

v

FAStT host adapter (Part number 00N6881)

v

FAStT EXP500 expansion unit (Machine type 3560)

v

1 Gb Fibre Channel switch (Machine type 2109)

v

Managed hub (Machine type 3534)

For more information about connecting to these devices, see the documentation
that comes with the device.
