— Plug the other end of the fiber optic cable into the mating optical connector on the
Fibre Channel HBA card in the NAS server designated as node 1.
— Verify that a Transceiver is installed on the FC Port 2 connector on the array, then plug
one end of a fiber optic cable into the Transceiver.
— Plug the other end of the fiber optic cable into the mating optical connector on the
Fibre Channel HBA card in the NAS server designated as node 2.
