The HBA is now installed in the computer and is ready for media attachment.
▼ To Connect the Optical Cable
Note – The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless
it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel product (that is,
multimode to multimode).
Use multimode fiber-optic cable, intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the
specifications in
TABLE 2-1 .
1. Connect the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the HBA (see FIGURE 2-4 ).
