The correct step to configure the newly installed FAS8300 for an FC host connection is to configure the ports 0e and 0f as a type of target. In the given exhibit, these ports are currently set to 'initiator' mode. For the FAS8300 to connect properly to an FC host, the ports should be set to 'target' mode, which is the role required for the storage system to accept connections from initiators (the FC hosts). Thus, configuring the ports as a target is necessary for this task.
