To Connect an Optical Cable
Note - The Converged Network Adapter does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) product (that is, another Converged Network Adapter or FCoE switch using compatible short range optics).
Use multi-mode fiber-optic cable, intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications listed in Table 1 in Table 1.
- Connect
the fiber-optic cable to an LC connector on the adapter.
The following figure shows how to connect the dual-port adapter with a fiber-optic cable.
- Connect the other end of the
cable to the FCoE switch.
After the optical cable is connected to the adapter, you can power on the system.
Note - Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) cannot be used on the same port as FCoE or iSCSI.
