Fibre-channel HBAs The USP V supports fibre-channel HBAs equipped as follows:
 4 Gbps fibre-channel interface, including shortwave non-
OFC (open fibre control) optical interface and multimode
optical cables with LC connectors.
 2 Gbps fibre-channel interface, including shortwave non-
OFC (open fibre control) optical interface and multimode
optical cables with LC connectors.
 1 Gbps fibre-channel interface, including shortwave non-
OFC optical interface and multimode optical cables with
SC connectors.
If a switch or HBA with a 1Gbps transfer rate is used,
configure the device to use a fixed 1Gbps setting instead of
Auto Negotiation. Otherwise, it may prevent a connection
from being established.
Do not connect OFC-type fibre-channel interfaces to the
USP V. For information about supported fibre-channel HBAs,
optical cables, hubs, and fabric switches, contact your
Hitachi Data Systems account team.
Fibre-channel utilities
and tools
Refer to the documentation for your fibre-channel HBA for
information about installing the utilities and tools for your
adapter.
