Fibre Channel Connections - ATTO Technology FastStream VT 5300 Installation And Operation Manual

1 Connect the cable from the SCSI device to a
VHDCI SCSI port on the FastStream VT.
2 Check the type of cable, cable length limit and
number of devices recommended for the port.
See Exhibit A-1.
Keep cable lengths as short as possible to
ensure the highest signal quality and
performance. These cable lengths include the
wiring inside the devices.

Fibre Channel connections

The Fibre Channel port connects the FastStream
VT into either a Fibre Channel Fabric or Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop.
The FastStream VT uses optical SFP connectors
and multimode fiber optic cable.
3 Set the IDs of the SCSI devices connected to
the FastStream to a value other than 7.
Use a sequential ID starting at 0 for each
device. The SCSI port has an internal factory
setting ID of 7, typical for a SCSI initiator
device.
4 Terminate the SCSI bus after the last device.
The FastStream VT is terminated internally.
Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both
ends with the proper connectors. Use the shortest
possible cable length for best performance.
