This section describes how to connect the cables for these
environments:
"10/100/1000, 10GbE Optical, and Fibre Channel" on
page 37
"Gigabit copper" on page 40
The optical Ethernet kit includes:
Optical TAP
One, two, or four full duplex optical cables depending on
which Gen2 card you purchased.
One, two, or four optical Y-analyzer cables
To connect the TAP to the GigaStor:
Insert the supplied SFP connectors (XPF connectors for 10GbE)
