viii Power Systems: Managing PCI adapters for the 8233-E8B or 8236-E8C

Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:

v Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest

devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top

of rack-mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in

the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.

v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack

cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.

v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of

the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

CAUTION v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the

manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not

blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.

v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that

overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.

v (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets

are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

v (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless

specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

(R001)

Safety notices ix

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:

v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack

cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not known, you must observe the following precautions:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above. – Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet. – Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below the

32U level.

v If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet from

the suite.

v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards. v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the

documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.). v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement. v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees. v When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:

– Lower the four leveling pads. – Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. – If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest

position to the highest position.

v If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack

cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

The adapter information that is shown here is used during non-directed service activities. The information can be used to:

v Identify an adapter v Find specific technical information about an adapter v Where applicable, show special installation or cabling instructions v Show signal names for the output-pins of the adapter connectors v Where applicable, show the settings for switches or jumpers

Adapters can be identified by their feature code (FC) or their custom-card identification number (CCIN). Normally, the CCIN number is labeled on the adapter.

The FRU part number (P/N) of your adapter might not match the FRU P/N listed in this information. If the part numbers do not match, verify that the CCIN is the same. If the CCIN is same, the adapter has the same function and can be used in the same way.

Adapters must be placed in specific peripheral component interconnect (PCI), PCI-X, or PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or optimally. See the PCI adapter placement for system-specific information about which slots are available and which adapters can be placed in those slots.

PCI Express

Learn about PCI Express (PCIe) adapters and slots.

PCI Express (PCIe) adapters use a different type of slot than Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) adapters. If you attempt to force an adapter into the wrong type of slot, you might damage the adapter or the slot. A PCI adapter can be installed in a PCI-X slot, and a PCI-X adapter can be installed in a PCI adapter slot. A PCIe adapter cannot be installed in a PCI or PCI-X adapter slot, and a PCI or PCI-X adapter cannot be installed in a PCIe slot. The following illustration shows an example of a PCI-X adapter (A) next to a PCIe 4x (B) adapter.

Figure 1. PCI-X adapter and PCIe 4x adapter

PCIe adapters and slots come in 4 different sizes: 1x, 4x, 8x, and 16x. Smaller size adapters do fit in larger slots, but larger size adapters do not fit in smaller slots. The following table shows PCIe slot compatibility.

Handling static sensitive devices

Electronic boards, adapters, media drives, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent damage. Learn about taking precautions to prevent damage to these devices from static electricity discharge.

Managing PCI adapters 3

v Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge

from damaging your hardware.

v When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It

does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.

v If you do not have a wrist strap, before removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or

replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.

v Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the

system.

v With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to the metal frame of the system. v Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the

adapter.

v If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag.

Before picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system at the same time.

v Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.

Important partitioning considerations with dual-slot and multi-adapter configurations

Learn about partitioning considerations with dual-slot and multi-adapter configurations.

Logical partitions can own physical I/O resources. Physical I/O resources are assigned to logical partitions at the slot level. Assigning a slot to a logical partition enables the operating system that runs in the logical partition to control the functionality of the I/O resource and power for that slot. When the operating system powers a slot on or off, the physical I/O resource is powered on or off.

In some I/O configurations, the functionality of an adapter or I/O resource depends on two or more physical slots. For example, if you have a double-wide RAID adapter (FC 2053, 2054, or 2055) that take up two adjacent adapter slots or two separate RAID adapters paired together, both physical slots must be assigned to the same logical partition. For example, if you install the FC 2053, 2054, or 2055 adapter in slot 2, then the adjacent slot 3 cannot be used to install another adapter even though the slot 3 is reported as empty. It is important to understand the wanted configuration and function being provided before completing the logical partitioning and activation of the resources involved.

There are two I/O configurations involving adapter pairs:

v Mult-initiator and high availability v Auxiliary Write Cache

Multi-initiator and high availability

The terms multi-initiator and high availability (HA) refer to connecting multiple adapters (typically two adapters) to a common set of disk expansion drawers for increasing availability. This configuration is also referred to as Dual Storage IOA configuration. This type of connection is commonly done in either of the following configurations:

Note: Some systems have SAS RAID adapters integrated onto the system boards and use a Cache RAID Dual IOA Enablement Card (FC 5662) to enable storage adapter Write Cache and Dual Storage IOA (HA RAID Mode). For these configurations, installation of the Cache RAID - Dual IOA Enablement Card places the two integrated adapters into a HA RAID configuration. There are no separate SAS cables required to connect the two integrated SAS RAID adapters to each other.

HA two-system configuration

4 Power Systems: Managing PCI adapters for the 8233-E8B or 8236-E8C

An HA two-system configuration provides a high-availability environment for system storage by enabling two systems or partitions to have access to the same set of disks and disk arrays. This feature is typically used with the IBMPowerHA®SystemMirror®. The IBMPowerHA SystemMirror software provides a commercial computing environment that ensures that mission-critical applications can recover quickly from hardware and software failures. The support for this configuration is operating system dependent.

HA single system configuration

An HA single system configuration provides for redundant adapters from a single system to the same set of disks and disk arrays. This feature is typically referred to as Multi-Path I/O (MPIO). MPIO support is part of the operating system support and can be used to provide a redundant IBM SAS RAID controller configuration with RAID protected disks.

Auxiliary write cache adapter

The auxiliary write cache (AWC) adapter provides a duplicate, nonvolatile copy of write cache data of the RAID controller to which it is connected.

Protection of data is enhanced by having two battery-backed (nonvolatile) copies of write cache, each stored on separate adapters. If a failure occurs to the write cache portion of the RAID controller, or the RAID controller itself fails in such a way that the write cache data is not recoverable, the AWC adapter provides a backup copy of the write cache data to prevent data loss during the recovery of the failed RAID controller. The cache data is recovered to the new replacement RAID controller and then written out to disk before resuming normal operations.

The AWC adapter is not a failover device that can keep the system operational by continuing disk operations when the attached RAID controller fails. The system cannot use the auxiliary copy of the cache for runtime operations even if only the cache on the RAID controller fails. The AWC adapter does not support any other device attachment and performs no other tasks than communicating with the attached RAID controller to receive backup write cache data. The purpose of the AWC adapter is to minimize the length of an unplanned outage, due to a failure of a RAID controller, by preventing loss of critical data that might have otherwise required a system reload.

It is important to understand the difference between multi-initiator connections and AWC connections. Connecting controllers in a multi-initiator environment refers to multiple RAID controllers connected to a common set of disk enclosures and disks. The AWC controller is not connected to the disks, and it does not perform device media accesses.

The RAID controller and the AWC adapter each require a PCI bus connection and are required to be in the same partition. The two adapters are connected by an internal connection. For the planar RAID enablement and planar auxiliary cache features, the dedicated connection is integrated into the system planar.

PCIe 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter (FC 5289; CCIN 57D4)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5289 adapters.

Overview

FC 5289 and 5290 are both the same adapter. FC 5289 is a full-height adapter, and the FC 5290 is a low-profile adapter. The names of these two adapters are:

v FC 5289: PCIe 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter v FC 5290: PCIe LP 2-port Async EIA-232 Adapter (tailstock only)

The FC 5289 and FC 5290 are 2-port EIA-232 asynchronous serial communications PCI Express (PCIe) adapters that can be installed in the PCIe slots. The adapters are based on the PCIe 1.1 host bus interface. The parallel port function is not implemented on these adapters.

Each of the two Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) channels contain 128 byte receiver-transmitter, first-in first-out (FIFO), full modem-control signaling, and standard host interrupts. If either of the two UART interrupts are active, the host can be interrupted through a single PCI interrupt. The two-port adapter provides RJ45 Ethernet ports, which are connected by DB-9 connectors.

PCI-X DDR External Dual – x4 Port SAS Adapter (FC 5900; CCIN 572A)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5900 adapter.

Overview

The Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) DDR External Dual – x4 Port SAS Adapter is a low-profile adapter for high-performance and high-density, serial-attached SCSI (SAS) applications. The adapter provides two mini SAS 4x connectors, which allow the eight physical links to be used in various narrow and wide-port configurations. The adapter is a 64-bit, 3.3 V, bootable SAS adapter that provides RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10 capability. Some RAID level support is operating system dependent. The adapter provides RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10 for systems running the AIX or Linux operating system. Under the IBM i operating system, mirroring and data spreading is provided by the operating system and RAID 5 and RAID 6 is provided by the adapter.

The adapter does not have write cache. (The write performance of RAID level 5 and RAID level 6 may be poor on adapters which do not provide write cache. Consider using an adapter which provides write cache when using RAID level 5 or RAID level 6.)

The adapter can address up to 48 SAS disk drives, although the actual number of drives in a system is subject to the physical placement limitations of the system. Externally attached devices are designed to run at a data rate of 1.5 Gb/s for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) devices, and 3 Gb/s for SAS devices. This card supports RAID and non-RAID DASD, tape, and optical devices. Feature 5900 supports the multi-initiator and high availability configurations.

Important: See the SAS RAID controllers for AIX, SAS RAID controllers for Linux, or SAS RAID controllers for IBM i topics for more information and important considerations for multi-initiator and high availability or dual storage IOA configurations

PCIe Dual - x4 SAS Adapter (FC 5901; CCIN 57B3)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5901 adapter.

Overview

The PCI Express (PCIe) Dual - 4x SAS adapter is a low-profile short form factor adapter for high-performance and high-density, serial attached SCSI (SAS) applications. It supports the attachment of SAS disk, tape, and DVD by using a pair of mini SAS 4x connectors which allow the eight physical links to be used in various narrow and wide-port configurations. The adapter does not have write cache.

The adapter is a 64 bit, 3.3 V, bootable SAS adapter that provides RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10 capability. Some RAID level support is operating system dependent. The adapter provides RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10 for the AIX and Linux operating systems. IBM i operating system provides mirroring and data spreading capability. FC 5901 does not support the RAID 5 and RAID 6 configurations. The adapter does not have write cache. (The write performance of RAID 5 and RAID 6 can be poor on adapters that do not provide write cache. Consider using an adapter which provides write cache when using RAID 5 or RAID

6.)

The adapter can address up to 48 SAS disk drives, although the actual number of drives in a system is subject to the physical placement limitations of the system. Externally attached devices are designed to run at a data rate of 1.5 Gbps for serial ATA (SATA) devices, and 3 Gbps for SAS devices. This card supports RAID and non-RAID DASD, tape, and optical devices. This adapter supports the multi-initiator and high availability configurations in AIX and Linux. IBM i does not support feature 5901 in multi-initiator and high availability configurations.

Important: See the SAS RAID controllers for AIX, SAS RAID controllers for Linux, or SAS RAID controllers for IBM i topics for more information and important considerations for multi-initiator and high availability or dual storage IOA configurations

The 5901 supports SAS SFF disk drives located in a PCIe 12X I/O Drawer or SAS disk drives located in an EXP 12S Disk Drawer or SAS disk drives located in a supported POWER system unit (split disk backplane).

PCIe Dual - x4 3 Gb SAS RAID Adapter (FC 5903 and FC 5805; CCIN 574E)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5903 and FC 5805 adapters.

Overview

The PCI Express (PCIe) Dual - x4 3 Gb SAS RAID Adapter supports the attachment of Serial attached SCSI (SAS) disk and SAS solid-state drives using a pair of mini SAS 4x connectors. The 5903 or 5805 has a 380 MB write cache and a concurrently replaceable cache battery pack. The adapter must always be installed in pairs and is always to be used in a high availability, multi-initiator RAID configuration using two adapters in dual-controller mode. Two 5903 or 5805 adapters provide mirrored write-cache data and mirrored RAID parity footprints between the adapters. If the 5903 or 5805 pairing is broken, then write cache is disabled.

Important: See the SAS RAID controllers for AIX, SAS RAID controllers for Linux, or SAS RAID controllers for IBM i topics for more information and important considerations for multi-initiator and high availability or dual storage IOA configurations

The 5903 or 5805 supports SAS small form factor (SFF) disk drives located in a PCIe 12X I/O Drawer or SAS disk drives located in an EXP 12S Disk Drawer. It can also be connected to the internal disk drives in the system unit using the appropriate split disk backplane feature and cabling.

The adapter is a 3.3 V, PCI-e x8 bootable SAS adapter that provides RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10 for the AIX and Linux operating systems. Under the IBM i operating system, mirroring and data spreading are provided by the operating system, and RAID 5 and RAID 6 are provided by the adapter.

With adequate cabling and configuration, multiple wide ports are used to provide redundant paths to each dual port SAS drive or solid-state drive. The adapter manages SAS path redundancy and path switching in case a SAS failure occur.

The 5903 or 5805 contains a LED ((C) in Figure 15 on page 33) that flashes if the cache data is present. The cache-data present LED flashes when there is possible data in the cache on the adapter. If the cache data present LED is flashing, do not replace the cache battery pack. If replaced when the LED is flashing, the cache data is lost. See Figure 15 on page 33 to locate the cache-data present LED on this adapter.

32 Power Systems: Managing PCI adapters for the 8233-E8B or 8236-E8C

Attention: Do not attempt to replace the cache battery pack if the cache-data present LED on the card is

flashing. The cache-data present LED indicates that there is possible data in the cache on the adapter. To prevent data loss, first make sure that the system has been shut down correctly. If the cache-data present LED is flashing, refer to one of the following topics before removing the cache battery pack.

PCI-X DDR 1.5 GB cache SAS RAID Adapter (FC 5904, 5906, 5908; CCIN 572F and 575C)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the 5904, 5906, and 5908 adapter.

Overview

The PCI-X DDR 1.5 GB cache SAS RAID Adapter is a SAS disk controller with a maximum of 1.5 GB compressed write cache and a maximum 1.6 GB compressed read cache. Auxiliary write cache and concurrent battery maintenance are provided. The controller is implemented by using two physical adapters that are securely connected to form a double-wide adapter. The double-wide adapter requires two adjacent Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) slots. The auxiliary write cache side of the double-wide adapter contains a dual, concurrently maintainable cache battery pack which maintains cache memory on both adapters in the event of an abnormal termination.

When used in a logical partition (LPAR) environment, this double-wide adapter must have both slots of the adapter assigned to the same logical partition. When implementing dynamic LPAR (DLPAR), both slots of the adapter must be managed together.

Feature 5904, 5906, and 5908 are all feature codes that represent the same PCI-X DDR 1.5 GB cache SAS RAID Adapter. Different feature codes indicate whether a blind swap cassette is used and its type:

v Feature 5904 indicates no blind swap cassette. The feature is used in enclosures that do not use blind

swap cassettes. v Feature 5906 indicates a gen-2.5 blind swap cassette. The feature is used in the 5797 and 5798

enclosures. v Feature 5908 indicates a gen-3 blind swap cassette. This feature is used in the 5790 and 5796 enclosures.

572F is the CCIN number on the RAID adapter side of the double-wide adapter pair. 575C is the CCIN number on the write-cache adapter.

The adapter provides RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10 for the AIX and Linux operating systems. Under the IBM i operating system, mirroring and data spreading are provided by the operating system, and RAID 5 and RAID 6 are provided by the adapter.

correct cabling and configuration, multiple wide ports are used to provide redundant paths to each dual port SAS drive. The adapter manages SAS path redundancy and path switching if a SAS failure occurs.

With the optional pairing of adapter sets, an even higher level of protection is provided by using a dual controller I/O configuration1to protect against the failure of an entire adapter set. In such a high availability I/O configuration, SAS X cables are used to attach 5586 EXP 12S Expansion Drawers. The fourth mini-SAS connector on each card set is used to directly connect the card sets by using a SAS AA cable.

Important: For more information and important considerations for multi-initiator and high availability or dual storage IOA configurations, see the SAS RAID controllers for AIX, SAS RAID controllers for Linux, or SAS RAID controllers for IBM i topics.

PCI-X DDR External Dual – x4 Port SAS Adapter (FC 5912; CCIN 572A)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the 5912 adapter.

Overview

The Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X) DDR External Dual – x4 Port SAS Adapter is a low-profile adapter for high-performance and high-density, serial-attached SCSI (SAS) applications. The adapter provides two mini SAS 4x connectors, which allow the eight physical links to be used in various narrow and wide-port configurations. The adapter is a 64-bit, 3.3 V, bootable SAS adapter that provides RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10 capability. Some RAID level support is operating system dependent. The adapter provides RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10 for AIX and Linux. Under the IBM i operating system, mirroring and data spreading is provided by the operating system and RAID 5 and RAID 6 is provided by the adapter.

The adapter does not have write cache. (The write performance of RAID level 5 and RAID level 6 may be poor on adapters which do not provide write cache. Consider using an adapter which provides write cache when using RAID level 5 or RAID level 6.)

The adapter can address up to 48 SAS disk drives, although the actual number of drives in a system is subject to the physical placement limitations of the system. Externally attached devices are designed to run at a data rate of 1.5 Gb/s for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) devices, and 3 Gb/s for SAS devices. This card supports RAID and non-RAID DASD, tape, and optical devices. Feature 5912 supports the multi-initiator and high availability configurations.

Important: See the SAS RAID controllers for AIX, SAS RAID controllers for Linux, or SAS RAID controllers for IBM i topics for more information and important considerations for multi-initiator and high availability or dual storage IOA configurations

PCIe2 1.8 GB Cache RAID SAS Tri-port 6 Gb Adapter (FC 5913; CCIN 57B5)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5913 adapters.

Overview

The PCI Express (PCIe) generation-2, 1.8 GB Cache RAID SAS Tri-port 6 Gb Adapter is a large cache PCIe2 SAS adapter that provides high-performance capabilities and supports the attachment of serial-attached SCSI (SAS) disks and SAS solid-state drives through mini SAS HD (high density) connectors. The feature code (FC) 5913 has a 1.8 GB write-cache. The adapter must be installed in pairs and must be used in a high availability, multi-initiator RAID configuration with two adapters in dual-controller mode (Dual Storage IOA configuration). Two FC 5913 adapters provide additional performance and adapter redundancy with mirrored write-cache data and mirrored RAID parity footprints between the adapters. If the FC 5913 pairing is broken, then the write cache is disabled. Integrated flash memory with capacitors provides protection of the write cache in case of power failure, without the need for batteries as were used with previous large cache adapters.

To provide the highest bandwidth between two paired feature 5913 adapters for the mirroring of cache data and parity update footprints, a SAS Adapter-to-Adapter (AA) cable is required by default on the third adapter port until maximum device quantity attachment is required. When all three connectors are attaching SAS drives, the communication between the adapter pair is performed through the SAS fabric via the I/O drawer and cabling.

The FC 5913 is a single wide, full-height, short adapter.

Every FC 5913 requires another 6 Gbps SAS RAID adapter (FC 5913) on this server, or on another server, which pairs with the SAS RAID adapter and enables the onboard caches to function. See Figure 19 on page 46 that shows the FC 5913 adapter.

Systems running the AIX or Linux operating systems support either having both 5913 features in the same system or partition, or in two separate systems or partitions. Systems running the IBM i operating system do not support the pairing of adapters on different servers or different partitions, so both the 5913 features must be installed on the same system or partition.

8 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter (FC 5735; CCIN 577D)

Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) 5735 adapter.

Overview

The 8 Gigabit PCI Express Dual Port Fibre Channel Adapter is a high-performance adapter based on the Emulex LPe12002 PCIe Host Bus Adapter (HBA). Each port provides single initiator capability over a fibre link. The ports have LC type connectors and utilize shortwave laser optics. The adapter connects to fibre channel switches and operates at link speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gbps. The adapter automatically negotiates with the switch to the highest speed of which the switch is capable. LEDs on each port provide information on the status and link speed of the port.

The following figure shows the adapter:

Cables

Cables are the responsibility of the customer. Use multimode fibre optic cables with short-wave lasers that adhere to the following specifications:

v OM3: Multimode 50/125 micron fibre, 2000 MHz x km bandwidth v OM2: Multimode 50/125 micron fibre, 500 MHz x km bandwidth v OM1: Multimode 62.5/125 micron fibre, 200 MHz x km bandwidth

Because core sizes are different, OM1 cables can only be connected to other OM1 cables. For best results, OM2 cables should not be connected to OM3 cables. However, if an OM2 cable is connected to an OM3 cable, the characteristics of the OM2 cable apply to the entire length of the cables.

The following table shows the supported distances for the three different cable types at the three different link speeds.
