Connecting Fiber Optic Cables Between the Controllers
and Switches
To make fiber optic connections:
1. Connect a multimode fiber optic cable from port 1 of the top controller to port 2
of the top Fibre Channel switch.
2. Connect a second multimode fiber optic cable from port 2 of the top controller to
port 4 of the top Fibre Channel switch.
3. Connect a third multimode fiber optic cable from port 1 of the bottom controller
to port 2 of the bottom Fibre Channel switch.
4. Connect a fourth multimode fiber optic cable from port 2 of the bottom controller
to port 4 of the bottom Fibre Channel switch.
IMPORTANT: If “PORT_1_TOPOLOGY = FABRIC (point-to-point)” is displayed, it
indicates a switch configuration error. Consult the switch documentation to correct this
problem.
NOTE: A green LED indicator on the switch illuminates as soon as the cable is inserted
at both ends. This verifies that there is a good connection.
Connecting the Initiator Site to the External Fiber Link
Locate the connection points linking the target site to the initiator site. Look for either
a fiber optic cable connector or a patch panel to insert the cable.
To connect the initiator site to the external fiber link:
1. Connect a single-mode fiber optic cable pair from port 6 of the top switch to
one connection point.
2. Connect another single-mode fiber optic cable pair from port 6 of the bottom
switch to the other connection point.
The initiator site is now physically linked to the target site.
