Connecting the Fibre Channel Cables
Connecting the Fibre Channel Cables
Fibre Channel cables provide the I/O path to the disk array. The Fibre Channel cable
connects the controller enclosure directly to a host, or to a hub.
For operation on HP-UX, the host must contain an HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage/9000
adapter. For HP-UX supported adapters, installation, and configuration information for the
HP Fibre Channel adapters, refer to the Hewlett-Packard Fibre Channel Mass Storage
Adapter Service and User Manual (J3636-90002) supplied with the adapter, or you can
download this document from http://www.docs.hp.com/. This document also contains
information on verifying the Fibre Channel connection to the disk array and information on
troubleshooting the Fibre Channel loop.
For information on Fibre Channel host adapters supported on Windows NT and Windows
2000, check the Host Adapter folder on the HP Storage Manager 60 CD.
To connect the Fibre Channel cables to the array, complete the following steps:
Note
It is advisable to select Fibre Channel cables that are as close as possible to the
proper length for the installation.
1. Connect a fibre optic cable to a host or hub. Locate the appropriate connector on the
adapter card. Remove the optical cover and connect the fibre optic cable. Refer to the
appropriate system documentation for additional information.
Note
When plugging the Fibre Cable connector into the adapter, push the plug into
the connector until it snaps into the connector. There is a slight amount of slack
in the connection which may prevent the connector from making an optimal
connection. After plugging the plug into the connector, grab the cable just
behind the plug and push lightly inward to ensure a good optical connection.
2. Plug a media interface adapter (MIA) into the Fibre Channel connectors on the
controller enclosure (
Figure 74
, connectors J3 and J4). Make sure that the RFI gaskets
are installed between the MIA and the controller connector. Tighten the two screws in
each MIA.
