FC Cable Connection (For FC, iSCSI 10Gbit/s, and FCoE)

Connect the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to the connection destination using FC cables.
FC cables must be obtained separately.
• When using iSCSI connections via LAN switches for connecting to the server, using different LAN switches
to divide the networks is recommended for connecting the server and the ETERNUS DX Disk storage
system and for operation management in order to maintain system performance.
• The iSCSI interface operates in 10GBASE-SR mode.
The following procedure explains how to connect the FC cable.
• To help with FC cable management and prevent incorrect connections, attach labels to the FC cables and
make a note of connection origins and destinations.
• When connecting the FC cable, check the direction of the connector tab and insert it all the way in firmly.
When disconnecting the FC cable, pull out the connector while holding its tab.
This section describes dual-controller type as an example. Note that there is only Controller 0 (CM#0) for a
single-controller type.
