Cables and Connections
•
Power off the device(s) to which any connector is attached before removing it, except
when performing a hot plug (see
‘Hot Plugging’ on page 59
).
•
A Fibre Channel segment can carry any of three different types of signal: short-wave,
long-wave, or copper.
Caution !
Components within any individual Fibre Channel segment must
be of the same type – all short-wave, all long-wave, or all copper.
Do not mix component types in any single segment.
•
Visually examine the end of both connectors on the cable. The connector mating features
should not be bent or broken.
•
If a connector at either end of the FC cable is damaged, replace the entire FC cable.
•
Each device has a pair of FC ports: the transmit port (XMT) and the receive port (RCV).
•
For successful communications, any single cable must be connected from the XMT
port at one device to the RCV port on the second device.
•
The second fibre cable in the pair must be connected from the XMT port on the
second device to the RCV port on the first device (see
Figure 5-1
).
•
Follow the markings on the insulating sheaths to make sure the polarization is correct,
and make sure the connectors are securely fastened to the devices.

Schematic for Correct FC Cabling Connection
•
Verify that cable length does not exceed the recommended length (see
Appendix A
).
•
Fibre Channel cables are delicate; replace the cable if you suspect damage.
