a. Base/expansion cable from both base and expansion backplanes connectors
J0801.
b. FC-AL data cable from base backplane connectors J01103 and J01102, and from
expansion backplane connectors J01101 and J01100.
c. FC-AL data cable from expansion backplane connectors J0201 and J0200, and
from base backplane connectors J0501 and J0500.
5. Choose a slot for the PCI Dual Fibre Channel Network Adapter+.
For higher throughput, select one of the 66-MHz slots (PCI slot 7 or 8). See
"Reference for PCI Slot Locations" on page
6. Install the PCI Dual Fibre Channel Network Adapter+.
See the Sun Fire 880 Server Service Manual for PCI card installation instructions.
The network adapter contains two external optical transceiver connectors, located on
the spine of the adapter. Pull the dust cover from each external connector before you
install the adapter.
After you install the network adapter, replace the dust cover on the Port 1 connector.
In this configuration, Port 1 of the network adapter cannot be used to connect to
external devices. Use only Port 2 to connect to external devices.
7. Connect the new FC-AL data cable (P3 and P4) to connectors J3 (P3) and J4 (P4) on
the PCI Dual Fibre Channel Network Adapter+ and to expansion backplane
connectors (C) J0200 and (D) J0201.
Note – Route the FC-AL data cable under the I/O fan tray assembly brackets and
along the floor of the I/O compartment. Use tie-wraps to secure the FC-AL data
cable to the tie-wrap notches on the I/O compartment floor.
8. Install the primary and secondary I/O fan tray assemblies and check that the
FC-AL data cable does not interfere with the fans. If necessary, use tie-wraps to
attach the cable to the internal wall near the backplanes.
Caution – Be sure that the cable plug you removed from connector J0801 does not
interfere with the fans. You can use the cable fasteners on the internal wall near the
expansion backplane to bundle the cable plug with the cables routed along the
internal wall.
Caution – Before you power on the system, be sure that the front and side doors
and all plastic outer panels are properly installed.
