Attaching Media
Note:
A CNA will not allow normal data transmission on either 10 Gig optical or copper link unless it is connected to
a similar or compatible optical or copper interface connection (that is, multimode to multimode).
Use SR, DCR multimode fiber, or 3m twin-axial copper for interface connections to network that adheres
to the following specifications:
To attach media to the CNA:
1. Connect the cable to the LC connectors on the CNA.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a Top of Rack (TOR) EE switch. See figure 1.
