 1 Install the FibreBridge

1.1 Place the FibreBridge on a stable flat    

surface, install it into a standard rack 
or into your device.

  If installing the FibreBridge 7500
   into a rack, see Exhibit 1 and follow 

these instructions:

 a. Attach “L” brackets so that the 

front side with the LEDs face front 
and the connector side is at the 
back.

 b. Install the FibreBridge horizontally 

within the rack so it does not reduce 
the air flow within the rack.

1.2 Connect and power up Fibre Channel 

devices from your SAN to the 
FibreBridge using SFPs and multimode 
fiber optic cables for the Fibre Channel 
ports. Keep cable lengths as short as 
possible to ensure the highest signal 
quality and performance. Refer to 
Cabling in the FibreBridge Installation 
and Operation Manual.

1.3 Connect and power up SAS/SATA target 

devices. Refer to Cabling in the 
FibreBridge Installation and Operation 
Manual. 

1.4 Connect the Ethernet port to your 

network.

1.5 Connect power:

 a. Connect the AC power cords from the 

FibreBridge to the proper AC source 
outlets. 

Power is automatically supplied to the 7500 when plugged 
into an AC outlet.

Note

The power source must be connected to a protective 
earth ground and comply with local electrical codes. 
Improper grounding may result in an electrical shock 
or damage to the unit.

If you are using a rack:
 a. Properly ground the FibreBridge to the 

rack equipment. The earth ground 
connection must be maintained.
