Table 2.5 lists the ports connecting the 7700 FSP Controllers, FC switches, and all supported
shelves. The labels for the cables use the Table 2.4 label naming convention (with each label listing
the end-to-end port connections).
Note:
The "==" shown in the end-to-end cable labels represents the cable connecting each of the
respective cable ends with a port (for example, in SW:A-0==CT:A-5-0, the cable connects port 0 on
Fibre Channel switch A and port 5-0 on 7700 FSP Controller A).
