Fibre channel host cable requirements

For the Type 3526 fibre channel RAID controller, you must use multi-mode,
50-micrometer fiber-optic cable and a Media Interface Adapter (MIA), shown in
Figure 10.

LVD-SCSI drive cable requirements

To connect the controller unit to a drive module, you must use 68-pin, VHDCI
(very high density cable interface) LVD, Ultra 2 SCSI cables. The controller unit has
six drive connectors that support 16-bit interface protocols. Each connector
represents a single drive channel that supports up to 10 drives per channel for a
total of 60 drives.
