Connection
To connect the router to a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN):
1. Locate the Fibre Channel port on the back-side of the router. Refer to Figure 3-2
for an illustration of the fibre channel port located on the back-side of the router.
2. Remove the rubber protector inserts from the SFP.
3. With the router powered off, connect the router to the Fibre Channel
environment, using the appropriate cabling. The Fibre Channel optical
connectors on the router are keyed for proper orientation.
CAUTION: The router has been qualified with a specific set of SFPs. Using an SFP
that has not been qualified by Compaq may cause the router to operate improperly.
See the Laser Safety section from Appendix B, "Regulatory Compliance Notices" for
more information.

SCSI Connections

The router supports Fast/Ultra-2 Narrow/Wide SCSI. The router is factory configured
to support LVD/Single-Ended SCSI buses. Up to twelve SCSI buses can be attached,
using 3 SCSI modules.
NOTE: The router must always be installed at the end of SCSI buses.
The router supplies termination power (TERMPWR) to each SCSI bus.
NOTE: During certain faults, the termination power IC will shut down. It may be restarted once
the fault is cleared.
CAUTION: During the attachment of high density SCSI cables, note the orientation
of the high-density SCSI port connectors. Connector orientation failure may result in
connector damage.
CAUTION: LVD/SE connections must be made on appropriate I/O modules. Failure
to heed this caution may result in damage to equipment.
CAUTION: Failure to comply with the minimum high-density cable specifications can
result in damage to the router or an operational failure of the product.
