fiber optic cable from a port on the switch to each server HBA. The
non-high availability (H A) SAN connections used with the standard
product are
shown in Figure 1. Thisistheconfiguration used in most
installati
ons. The H A SAN connections used with an optional second
switch are s
hown in Figure 2.
NOTE:

ports 0 thr o ugh 7 are licensed for use. The label on the switch
indicateswhichportsareavailableforuse.
1. Remove the dust caps from the connectors on the SFP transceivers
and fiber optic cables you will be using.
2. Install an SFP transceiver in a licensed switch port.
3. Connect a fiber optic cable bet ween the SFP and a server HBA.
4. Repeat the previous 3 steps for each HBA that will be connected to
