The FAStT700 Storage Server uses fiber-optic cables to connect to other Fibre
Channel devices. The fiber-optic cables that you need depend on the type of optical
connectors in the device to which you are connecting the FAStT700 Storage Server.
If the device uses SFP modules or optical interface connectors, then you must use
LC-LC Fibre Channel cables. If the device uses Gigabit Interface Converters
(GBICs) as the optical interface connector, you must use LC-LC Fibre Channel
cables and LC-SC Fibre Channel cable adapters (Part number 19K1250) to connect
to the FAStT700 Storage Server.
Handling fiber-optic cables
Before using fiber-optic cables, read the following precautions.
Attention: To avoid damage to your fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:
v
Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
v
When attaching to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that
it does not bend to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when extended or
become pinched when retracted.
v
Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in
the rack cabinet.
v
Do not use plastic cable ties in place of the provided cable straps.
v
Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius of less than 38
mm (1.5 in.).
v
Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Be sure that the
cable is well supported.
