To connect a host adapter to a DS4300 dual-controller storage subsystem (Model
60U/60X), complete the following steps:
1. Install an SFP in a host port on the RAID controller.
2. Connect the host-system fibre channel cables between the RAID controller host
ports and the HBA ports or fibre channel switch ports. Figure 66 shows the
location on the RAID controllers where the host-system cables connect.
