Just be sure...

If you are using DS14MK shelves with a 4-gb FC adapter,
be sure to use the 10-Gig certified (aka Aqua Blue) fibers.

If you have SATA drives or are using the 1 or 2Gb FC interfaces,
then the orage cables will do.

Fletcher,

Assuming you mean DS14mk4 FC or DS14mk2 AT shelves, NetApp sells up to
30m optical fiber cables.  With 6 racks you can probably use 10m cables.

Thank you,
Tim

Subject: Max fiber run length from 3250 to MK14

We have rack space constraints.
Can our 3250 heads be 6 racks away from our MK14 trays?

Thanks,
Fletcher
