Installing the Storage Hub 12

The Storage Hub 12 provides a central point of connectivity for the Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop and should be mounted in a convenient location.
To install the Storage Hub 12:
1. Find a convenient location in the rack or at another location. For more
information on mounting the Storage Hub in a rack, refer to the
documentation that came with the device.
2. Install a GigaBit Interface Converter (GBIC) module in each Storage
Hub 12 receptacle to be used.

3. Connect the Fibre Channel cables to the GBIC modules installed at the
Storage Hub 12.
CAUTION: Make certain that the Fibre Channel cables are supported with cable
ties or other supports so that little weight is placed on the Fibre Channel
connectors. This is necessary to prevent a cable bend radius of less than
3 inches at the connector or along the cable.
4. Check all cable connections to make sure they are tightly seated.
