StorageTek Proprietary
Introduction
Check your quantities against your earlier distance measurements to ensure
your order includes all cable attachments. Fibre Channel cables attach to the
HBA, and the other end, typically, mates with the control module’s host
interface.
Note: Unless there is an existing management station, cable connections to
the management station should be via 10BaseT Ethernet.
Fibre Channel short wave optical cables may also be referred to as FC optical
(LC to LC Duplex) cables going from the host (or switch) to the host minihub.
Place your Order
Make sure that you have the following.
When you make a new order, a storage management software/documentation
CD-ROM along with a CD insert, commonly called a Quick Start Guide will be
in your host attach kit that matches your storage system and OS type. The
Quick Start Guide will walk you through your installation—first referring you to
the Preconfiguration and Maintenance Setup Instructions, P/N 95966, and
then to any special instructions written to support your particular operating
system installation. In addition depending on your architecture, you may chose
to order the Cambex HBA driver CD as well as the Cambex DPF failover
driver CD. If the Cambex DPF failover driver is used, a license will have to be
purchased for each host that it is installed on.
Note: If you need information about installing HBAs, drivers, or cables; refer
to the Client Server Disk installation supplement, P/N 96015, or to your
host installation manuals.
