3.1.4 Connecting Switch to the Host System
1. Connect your workgroup host system #1 to the ExaSAN switch with a QSFP PCIe cable. Insert one
end of the QSFP cable into one of the host module ports on the rear panel of the switch. 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 5 meters in your case, you might have order the QSFP copper cable for this purpose.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the PCIe port on the HBA card, which you installed on the host
system earlier in Section 3.2.2.
