3.1.3 Connecting the HBA to the A08S3-PS System for DAS

1. Connect the HBA to the ExaSAN A08S3-PS with a QSFP PCIe cable. Insert one end of the
QSFP cable into the host port on the rear panel of A08S3-PS. Your cable connector is
securely plugged when you hear a click. If you need to unplug the cable, pull the ring on the
connector firmly until it is detached from the port. Note that the QSFP used in the photo
illustration below is a QSFP optical cable. If the distance between the switch and the host
system is less than 2 meters in your case, the included QSFP copper cable will suffice.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the QSFP port on the HBA card in the host system.
The cable connector is securely plugged when you hear a click.
