Note The array controller uses one of two types of fiber optic cable
connectors:
— SC connectors (Figure 39, 1) are large-form-factor connectors that plug
into the GBIC (Figure 39, 2) on VA 7100 array controller cards. The
GBIC then plugs into the HOST FC connector on the array controller
card.
— LC connectors (Figure 40, 1 and 2) are small-form-factor connectors
that plug directly into the DISK FC and HOST FC connectors on
VA 7110/7400/7410 array controller cards.
— Both SC and LC connectors are keyed to install only one way.
