Interface Connectors and Cables

The controller module supports the following interface protocols:
v Host interface – Fibre Channel (copper wire or fiber optic), one per controller
v Drive interface – LVD-SCSI (low-voltage differential, small computer system
v Diagnostic interface – Ethernet or RS-232 (serial), one each per controller
Connectors and Host IDs
The host ID switches and connectors for interface cables are on the connector plate
(Figure 3), located on the back of the controller module.
