HIC card, data transmission rate will be at 8Gb/s.
iSCSI HIC cards (2 10Gb iSCSI channels);
SAS HIC cards (4 6Gb SAS SFF-8644 channels);
IB HIC cards (2 40Gb IB channels).
5.3 Steps to connect host
1. If host is FC interface, first confirm there’s an SFP module inserted in host channel, and
plug off the black plastic plug on SFP.
2. As for FC host channel, insert one end of fiber-optic cable into SFP interface of host
channel.
3. Insert the other end of the cable into corresponding host FC HBA card/network card or
switch, and guarantee the rate matches with protocol.
4. It is suggested to label both ends of the cable, which is very important for you when
disconnect the cable and carry out operation on controller.
Suggested label content includes: Hostname and HBA card ports, controller ID (i.e. controller A),
host channel ID (i.e. host channel 1).
Label writing example: i.e. a cable is used to connect No. 1 port in No. 1 HBA card of a host
named Jinan with No. 1 host channel of controller A, and label could be abbreviated according to
the following: Jinan-HBA1/P1,CtA-Hch1
5. Repeat these steps to connect all host channels to be used.
