• Fibre Channel ports—connect to a SAN.
When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect, consider
the following for each type of interface, and gather all the required equipment before connecting the ports:
• Cabling required for each interface type
• Distance limitations for each signal type

You can save time and confusion when making cabling changes if you make
copies of the Chassis and Module Information, on page 84 and keep them accurate
to your current configuration.
