I purchased an MSA 1040 10GB iSCSI that i'm attempting to connect to my Extreme Networks Switch (via SFP+ ports). I've had a few conversations with HP and no one seems to be able to tell me what I need and I'm hoping someone here can help. The MSA comes with 4 iSCSI transceivers (as pictured)
MSA 1040 10GB iSCSI
And needs cables to attach to a SFP+ card i'll buy for my switch. After multiple attempts to find out what cables plug into those open ports, I still have no idea. Multiple attempts (with pictures) to HP support have insisted I need a DAC cable (HP X242 10G SFP+ to SFP+ 3m Direct Attach Copper Cable J9283B) and I just need to remove and discard the transceivers that shipped in the MSA. Obviously this solution can not work, since the DAC cables have transceivers attached, and can not conncet to an Extreme Networks switch (they want their own brand).
Any help is appreciated. I just need to know what cables are meant to conncet to the iSCSI cables that shipped with the device, so I can buy a transceiver for extreme networks to match it.
Thank you anyone
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionIf the SFP you are purchasing for your switch has an LC connection, this should work for you. The iSCSI trancievers in the photo that you mention are LC Fiber Optic Trancievers.

Re: Connecting MSA 1040 10GB iSCSI to Extreme Networks Switch
Thank you, I haven't purchased any transceiver yet on the switch side, I believe the highlighted option is the one you are telling me should work (both Duplex and Multi-Mode fiber
If that's correct then thank you so much for all the help, i don't want to waste money ordering the wrong parts

Re: Connecting MSA 1040 10GB iSCSI to Extreme Networks Switch
Yes, that should work. Just confirm that the SFP in your MSA is in fact for multimode fiber as well. (I dont see why it would not be MM, but its always good to make sure.)

Re: Connecting MSA 1040 10GB iSCSI to Extreme Networks Switch
Thank you, for anyone in the future looking for this I verified the card is a MSA 2040 10Gb SW iSCSI SFP card, part number 721000-001(C8R25A) and it does in fact use multi-mode fiber.
Thank you very much for your help
