Note:
To connect to the server by the 16-Gbps direct connection, the Fabric
Emulation function of the Hitachi host adapter is required. For the direct
connection using the Fabric Emulation function, set the Fabric setting of
the Fibre Channel port of the Storage System to ON.
For the 32-Gbps SFP added to the 4-port FC 32-Gbps package, the combinations
between data-transfer speeds and connection types are as follows:

Notes:
1. If this combination is specified, the maximum transfer speed automatically
specified is 8 Gbps.
2. If this default value is set, Fabric is set to ON automatically.
Note: The five Hitachi FC HBAs also have an alternate option of Fabric
Emulation. When the HBA is configured to use this mode, treat it as an
attached switch and set the storage port to Fabric = On and Connection
Type = P-to-P.

Due to high-speed serial data transfer is performed via Fibre Channel, use high-
quality Fibre Channel cables that comply with the Fibre Channel-PH standard.
