Fibre Channel cables and adapter types
The Fibre Channel host adapters enable the DS8000® storage system to attach to Fibre Channel and FICON® servers. The adapters are installed in an I/O enclosure. A Fibre Channel cable is required to attach each Fibre Channel adapter port to a server port.
Storage system Fibre Channel adapters and FICON® host adapters provide standard LC (Lucent) connectors for attachment to the host system or SAN.
See the IBM® DS8000 Introduction and Planning Guide for detailed information about Fibre Channel cables and adapter types. This document also includes information about cable features and optional cables.
