•
static electricity before starting each operation. Failure to discharge static electricity may cause failure in the
4.1Host Interface Cable Connection
ETERNUS AF.
Connect the ETERNUS AF to the connection destination using host interface cables. The connection procedure
varies depending on the type of host interface that is used for the ETERNUS AF
If the host interface is iSCSI 10Gbit/s (10GBASE-SR), and an FC cable is used for the connection, the SFP+
module must be installed in the host interface port before the cable is connected.
Prepare the same number of host interface cables as the number of host interface ports.
To help with host interface cable management and prevent incorrect connections, attach labels to the
•
cables that show which end is for the connection origin and which end is for the connection destination.
When connecting a host interface cable, check the direction of the connector tab and insert it all the
•
way in firmly.
