Setting addresses and connecting cables

Setting addresses and connecting cables
You must now set FC-AL address ID on the RAID controllers, set the chassis ID,
connect Fibre Channel cables, and connect power cables. Refer to the Profile XP System
Guide for the settings required for your installation.
1. At the back of the PFC500 chassis, remove each RC from its slot as shown below.
2. For each RC, set the FC-AL address ID using the FC-AL ID switches on the RC
printed circuit board.
Each node (such as an RC) on a Fibre Channel front-end loop must have a unique
FC-AL address ID. The FC-AL protocol translates the FC-AL address ID into an
8-bit arbitrated loop physical address (ALPA).
IMPORTANT: Each RC’s FC-AL ID must be unique from all other FC devices on
that same FC-AL loop.
When using redundant RCs, set the FC-AL ID on the RCs for all PFC 500s
connected as indicated in the following table.
