Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 2-port host interface adapter
If your Storwize® V3700 system has 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 2-port host interface adapters installed, you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your 10 Gbps Ethernet or FCoE SAN.
About this task

- Connect the appropriate cable to each port.
- For each additional pair of Ethernet ports in the right and left canisters, identify the correct pair of cables and connect them.
