Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 Series Site Preparation Guide • February 2002
Cabling Requirements
This section contains the cabling requirements for the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900
series systems. When cabling the system, make sure you:
■
Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside walls,
under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels or raceways. Route
interface cables (excluding fiber-optic cables) away from motors and other sources
of magnetic or radio frequency interference.
■
Do not exceed cable length limitations. See
for cable specifications and
lengths.
The power cables are the standard ones shipped with the Sun StorEdge Expansion
Cabinet. The cables that connect the two cabinets together are standard Fibre
Channel cables.
