hi

I think you IBM is 1GB output so you would need LC - SC cable

 

some thing like this

the connector should be the same

Regards

 

if you like give a Kudo

I still not buy the ibm switch,is only an idea.

Can you suggest me please something with more speed or do you think 1GB is sufficient for SAN

testing?

Hi

your HSV300 is 4GB and your HBA from the picture is 2GB or 4GB 

you need at least a 2GB switch some thing like this

you would need an SFP for it something like this for each port you use

you shuold check the model according to the switch you buy

and you would need cables like this OM2 (orange) or OM3 (light blue) grade would be could OK
