To Connect the Optical Cables
Note - The HBA does not allow normal data transmission
on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or
compatible Fibre Channel (FC) product (that is, multimode to multimode).
Use multimode fiber-optic cable, which is intended for short-wave
lasers, that adheres to the specifications in the following table.

62.5/125 mm (multimode) |
150 meters at 2.125 Gbit/second
70 meters at 4.25 Gbit/second
21 meters at 8.5 Gbit/second |
0.5 meters |

50/125 mm (multimode) |
500 meters at 2.125 Gbit/second
380 meters at 4.25 Gbit/second
150 meters at 8.5 Gbit/second |
0.5 meters |

- Connect
the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the HBA.

- Connect the other end of the
cable to the FC device.
After the optical cable is connected to the HBA, you are ready
to connect the Ethernet cable(s).
