Routing and connecting customer cables to the storage facility

Ask the customer to supply a diagram or output from the DS8000® Storage Manager to define the connectivity between the DS8000 host card ports and system host card ports.

Label host cables (Fibre Channel and zHyperLink) coming from each customer host adapter.

Note: To allow correct connection and disconnection of external cables, label cables by using the customer's current cable-identification plan and the labels that are provided by your customer.

Route the cables to the rear of the appropriate DS8000 rack.

Open the hook-and-loop fasteners in the tailgate.

This step provides information useful for connecting customer host cables to the I/O enclosure host adapter card ports.

The customer can reference the host adapter port locations by using the information that is displayed in the DS Storage Manager or DS CLI.
For an example of DS Storage Manager I/O port information, see Figure 1.
For an example of DS CLI I/O port information, see Figure 2.
For an example of DS CLI zHyperLink port information, see Figure 3.
For information on host adapter card port location codes that are used in serviceable event FRU lists, see Figure 4 and Figure 5.
For information on zHyperLink port location codes that are used in serviceable event FRU lists, see Figure 5.
For information on Rack-1 I/O enclosure HA port locations and IOPORT numbers, see Table 1.
For information on Rack-2 I/O enclosures HA port locations and IOPORT numbers, see Table 2.
For information on I/O enclosure zHyperLink port locations and HL port numbers, see Table 3.

Route the Fibre Channel cables up or down through the tailgate and route them to the destination I/O enclosure and host card and plug them in.

Important: The optical cable plugs (LC connectors) and ports (SFPs) must be cleaned before connecting them. Use cleaning tool 54Y4392 or IBM-approved alternative. After cleaning SFPs with the tool, use air bulb 45D2645 or IBM-approved alternative. For detailed procedures, refer to current DS8000 Info Alerts or contact your next level of support.

Notes:

Save the wrap tools removed from each Fibre host card. The wrap tool can be used as a dust cover and also a wrap tool for diagnosis and repair.
There are two types of Fibre Channel cards:
- Short wave
- Long wave

Route the zHyperLink cables (if present) up or down through the tailgate and route them to the destination I/O enclosure and host card and plug them in.

Important: The optical cable plugs (MPO or MTP connectors) and transceiver ports must be cleaned before you connect them. Use cleaning tool 43W3044 or IBM-approved alternative. Cleaning procedures are provided with the tool. After you clean the transceiver ports with the tool, use air bulb 45D2645 or IBM-approved alternative. For detailed procedures, refer to current DS8000 Info Alerts or contact your next level of support.

Secure the host cables in the tailgate with the included hook-and-loop fasteners.

Reinstall the tailgate brackets in all frames by using the screws removed earlier. Tighten all screws. See Figure 6.
