Fiber Channel Interface
The command module supports one or two Fiber Channel
controllers. Fiber Channel controllers contain a gigabaud link module
(GLM) that has either a fibre optic or copper wire connector extending
through an opening in the front of the controller CRU (
Figure 33 ).
There is a blank strip covering this opening on SCSI controller
CRUs. Using these interface connectors, the command module
attaches to FC hosts using three types of Fiber Channel topologies:
●
Hubs (copper or fibre optic)
●
Arbitrated loops (fibre optic only)
●
FC hosts (copper or fibre optic)

Fibre Optic and Copper Wire Cables
You must use either multi-mode fibre optic cable or shielded,
twisted pair cable to connect the command module to the
appropriate host or network device.
Table 8 lists the cables that you
can use on this command module.
