Cabling the Hub Server to the Member Servers
The Hub Server is connected to the Member Servers via Fibre Channel. Here are the
options:
 Hub Server to 24D or 24EX
o
Hub Server

Dual 16Gb/s or 32Gb/s Fibre Channel
o
Member Servers

Single 16Gb/s or 32Gb/s Fibre Channel
 Hub Server to 8D 32TB or 64TB
o
Hub Server

Dual 16Gb/s Fibre Channel
o
Member Servers

Single 16Gb/s Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel Client Cabling
Client connections are based on the number of Fibre Channel HBAs that are installed in your
server.
The Hub Server may also be connected to a switch via single or multiple 4/8/16/32 Gbit
connections. The client workstations would also connect to the switch. All connectors are
“LC” type, and the supported cable type is duplex (send/receive) multimode fibre. The LC
connector will plug into an SFP module. The SFP is inserted in the Fibre Channel HBA on the
server and client. SFPs are also used in the Fibre switch for connectivity between the server
and clients. All SFPs are removable and replaceable.
A Fibre Channel cable is comprised of send and receive strands, and these must be mated
properly to the send and receive ports on the SFP. If your cable was built as an LC-to-LC
patch cable, the connector should be built to achieve this. If you are patching through
another cable via a union or patch field, you may have to determine the send and receive
sides. Try each combination of port connection and connector ends (reversing if necessary)
until a link light appears.

ATTO Fibre Channel host bus adapters contain class 1 laser emitting
devices. Keep the transmit port covered whenever a cable is not connected.
It is good practice to keep open ports covered. Avoid staring into open
ports or aperture.
Ethernet Client Cabling
You can connect the Hub Server to an Ethernet switch or client via 1 Gigabit Ethernet or a
Teamed connection. Alternatively, you can install 10Gbit Ethernet card(s) to connect either
directly to a client or to connect to an Ethernet switch with the 10Gbit uplink option. 40Gbit
Ethernet can also be used to connect the Hub Server to a 40Gbit uplink on a switch.
