The
DS4400
Storage
Server
uses
fiber-optic
cables
to
connect
to
other
Fibre
Channel
devices.
The
fiber-optic
cables
that
you
need
depend
on
the
type
of
optical
connectors
in
the
device
to
which
you
are
connecting
the
DS4400
Storage
Server.
If
the
device
uses
SFP
modules
or
optical
interface
connectors,
then
you
must
use
LC-LC
Fibre
Channel
cables.
If
the
device
uses
Gigabit
Interface
Converters
(GBICs)
as
the
optical
interface
connector,
you
must
use
LC-LC
Fibre
Channel
cables
and
LC-SC
Fibre
Channel
cable
adapters
(Part
number
19K1250)
to
connect
to
the
DS4400
Storage
Server.
Handling
fiber-optic
cables
Before
using
fiber-optic
cables,
read
the
following
precautions.
Attention:
To
avoid
damage
to
your
fiber-optic
cables,
follow
these
guidelines:
v
Do
not
route
the
cable
along
a
folding
cable-management
arm.
v
When
attaching
to
a
device
on
slide
rails,
leave
enough
slack
in
the
cable
so
that
it
does
not
bend
to
a
radius
of
less
than
38
mm
(1.5
in.)
when
extended
or
become
pinched
when
retracted.
v
Route
the
cable
away
from
places
where
it
can
be
damaged
by
other
devices
in
the
rack
cabinet.
v
Do
not
use
plastic
cable
ties
in
place
of
the
provided
cable
straps.
v
Do
not
overtighten
the
cable
straps
or
bend
the
cables
to
a
radius
of
less
than
38
mm
(1.5
in.).
v
Do
not
put
excess
weight
on
the
cable
at
the
connection
point.
Be
sure
that
the
cable
is
well
supported.
