PCI Adapter Cables
Each U520 Single-Port 4/16-Mbps Token-Ring PCI Adapter requires a single cable.
U528 PCI adapters that attach to D910 FC disk enclosures are teamed for fault
tolerance. A cable for each member of the pair is required.
U534V PCI adapters that attach to D910 FC disk enclosures or to U773 12-Port Fibre
Channel Switch are teamed for fault tolerance. Two cables for each adapter are
supplied with the adapter.
U574V-LC PCI adapters and U575V PCI adapters are typically used in pairs and
grouped for fault tolerance. You must supply up to two Ethernet cables for the ports on
each U574V-LC and U575V PCI adapter.
U576 and U577 Ethernet PCI adapters are typically used in pairs and grouped for fault
tolerance. A cable for each member of the pair is required.
WARNINGWARNING
!
Make sure communications cables are routed out of
the way of foot traffic.
Table 4-6 describes the token-ring cable, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet cables you may
need to provide. Be sure to provide a cable of sufficient length for the distance between
the system and its connection point at the wall jack, hub, or peripheral device.
