Table 4-1 lists the available optical Fibre Channel cables.
For detailed instructions about making the Fibre Channel connections, see one of the
following:

The
ftScalable Storage: Getting Started Guide
(R601), where you can also see an
illustration of multiple ftServer systems connected to an ftScalable Storage
controller tray (that configuration is not shown here)

The documentation for your EMC storage system
The following illustrations are provided to help you plan a site for ftServer systems and
storage enclosures.

Figure 4-1 illustrates Fibre Channel connections from a single system to a switch,
and from the switch to the ftScalable Storage controller tray. Connections to EMC
storage systems through a SAN are similar.

Figure 4-2 illustrates Fibre Channel connections directly between an ftServer
system and an ftScalable Storage controller tray. Direct connections to an EMC
storage system are similar.
