Adding The Disk To A Disk Group; Handling Fiber Optic Cables - HP 6100 User Manual

NOTE:
to locate the correct firmware file. If you have difficulty locating the correct firmware,
contact your HP-authorized service representative for assistance. If you are running XCS
6.000, verify that leveling is not in progress before upgrading the disk drive firmware.
In HP Command View EVA, go to the General tab of the Disk Group Properties window
and verify that the Leveling field displays Inactive. If it displays Active, wait for leveling
to complete before performing the upgrade. This does not apply if you are running XCS
6.100 or later.

Handling fiber optic cables

This section provides protection and cleaning methods for fiber optic connectors.
Contamination of the fiber optic connectors on either a transceiver or a cable connector can impede
the transmission of data. Therefore, protecting the connector tips against contamination or damage
is imperative. The tips can be contaminated by touching them, by dust, or by debris. They can be
damaged when dropped. To protect the connectors against contamination or damage, use the
dust covers or dust caps provided by the manufacturer. These covers are removed during installation,
and are installed whenever the transceivers or cables are disconnected. Cleaning the connectors
should remove contamination.
