Connecting the Fibre Optic Cables

This section provides two procedures for connecting the fibre optic cables between
the host and the controller module.
Upgrade—you are replacing existing array controllers with A3500 FC-AL array
controllers.
New Installation—you are installing factory-configured A3500 FC-AL array
controllers.
Note – Both procedures require two people to route and connect the fibre optic
cables.
