To connect the adapter to a multimode fiber network, do the following steps:
1. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the fiber cable into the adapter LC connector.
2. Insert the male fiber LC connector of the other end of the cable into the network switch.
Verifying the adapter installation
To verify that the system unit recognizes the adapter, type lsdev -Cs pci at the command line and press
Enter.
A list of PCI devices displays. If the adapter is installed correctly, the status of available for each port
indicates that the adapter is installed and ready to use. If a message indicates that any of the ports are
defined instead of available, shut down the server and verify that the adapter was installed correctly.
