To remove a mini-SAS cable, complete the following steps:
1. Hold the blue plastic tab on the mini-SAS connector and gently pull the tab to
release the locking mechanism.
2. As you pull the tab, pull out the connector to remove it from the port.
Working with SFP modules and fiber optic cables
Each storage controller can have up to four Fibre Channel host ports. Use a
small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) module to connect a host port to a host. Insert
the SFP module into the port and a fiber optic cable into the SFP module. Connect
the other end of the fiber optic cable to an optical interface connector in a Fibre
Channel HBA on a host. SFP modules are laser products.
CAUTION:
This product might contain one or more of the following devices: CD-ROM
drive, DVD-ROM drive, DVD-RAM drive, or laser module, which are Class 1
laser products. To avoid exposure to hazardous laser radiation, do not remove
the covers of the laser product, or use the controls, or adjust procedures other
than the specifications in this guide. There are no serviceable parts inside the
device (C026).
CAUTION:
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system
links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. For
this reason, never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle
(C027).
