Connecting Fiber Optic Cables

1. Power on the disk array.
2. Remove the covers from the connectors of the fiber optic cable that was shipped
with your disk array.
Store the connector covers in a safe place. Always place the covers over the cable
connectors when the cable is not in use.
You may find a cotton swab in the plastic bag with the fiber optic cable. Use this
swab to clean the connector whenever it has been removed for a long time. You do
not need to clean the connector now.

for each disk array is a unique value (0–3).
See Section 5.5 "Set-Up 1" on page 5-6.

See Section 5.5 "Set-Up 1" on page 5-6.
