Chapter 2 Installing Your GigaStor
The Gigabit copper kit includes:
Copper nTAP
1, 2, or 4 standard Ethernet cables
2, 4, or 8 analyzer cables
To connect the TAP to the GigaStor:
Insert the supplied SFP connectors into the open slots on the back

of the Gen2 card(s).
If you have a GigaStor Expandable, see "Connecting the GigaStor

Expandable to the expansion units" on page 52 for details about
connecting them. After connecting them, continue with step 3.
Connect the TX Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE) or

SAN port to the Link A port on the nTAP.
Connect the TX port Gigabit switch (DCE) to the Link B port on

the nTAP.
Use the two analyzer cables to connect the analyzer port on the
