CAUTION:
Use appropriate precautions when handling Fibre Channel cables:
• Touching the end of a Fibre Channel cable will either damage the cable or cause performance
problems, including intermittent difficulties accessing the storage.
• Whenever a Fibre Channel cable is not connected, replace the protective covers on the ends of
the cable.
• Make certain that the Fibre Channel cables are installed and supported so that no excess weight is
placed on the connectors. This prevents damage to the connector and cable. Excess cable should
