Fibre channel host interposers

If you are attaching a host port to systems or switches using the larger SC-type
connector, an LC-SC fibre channel host interposer is required.
Table 11 lists the fibre channel host interposers that you can order for your DS6000
series.

Expansion enclosure cables

The DS6000 series provides device ports for attaching the expansion enclosure
(1750-EX1) to the DS6800 series.
Each connection from the DS6800 to the DS6000 expansion enclosure requires an
LC-LC type connector on the fiber optic cable.
Four fiber optical expansion cables, offered in multiple lengths, are required to
attach the DS6800 and the expansion enclosure. Each feature code contains four
cables.
Table 12 lists the expansion cables that you can order.

Fibre channel host attachment ports

Use these feature codes when you order fibre channel host ports for your DS6800.
