Using This Document

The Fibre Channel User’s Guide contains all the information you need to install and use your
Fibre Channel disk array.  This document is organized as follows:

SS-1200 FCAL Rack Installation and User Guide describes how to install, configure, and
connect the Fibre Channel enclosure to your system, and how to use and maintain it.

SS-1200 FCAL LRC Input/Output Module Installation Guide describes how to install the
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL) Loop Resiliency Circuit (LRC) input/output (I/O)
modules in the Fibre Channel enclosure.

SS-1200 FCAL Drive Carrier Module Installation Guide describes how to install the FCAL
drive carrier modules in the Fibre Channel enclosure.

Before You Begin

CAUTION

To protect the Fibre Channel enclosure and related equipment from electrostatic
discharge, wear an anti-static wrist strap when setting up or reconfiguring the
enclosure.

WARNING

To avoid damage to the enclosure’s power supply, set the voltage range
switch on the power supply to the proper AC line voltage for your location
(115 V or 220 V) before you connect the power cord and turn on power to
the enclosure.
