Figure 4-5 shows the connection of several Profile systems to a Fibre Channel Hub using
fibre channel cables. See Appendix B for fibre channel board connector pin-out
information.
Recommended Maximum Fibre Channel cable lengths are:
• Up to 25 meters: Copper cable.
• Up to 500 meters: Multi-mode optical cable with optional Media Interface
Adapters (copper-to-fiber optic adapter).
Figure 4-5. Example of Profile System and Fibre Channel Connections
NOTE: The Fibre Channel Hub may be supplied with caps over the connectors. To
maintain EMI compliance, only remove caps as necessary. If you disconnect a
Profile system from the hub, place a cap on the vacant connector.
To connect your Profile system to a Fibre Channel network:
1. Turn Profile system power Off. (See page 3-2 for power on/off procedures.)
2. Connect the Fibre Channel cable from the board to the Fibre Channel hub
(Figure 4-6).
