Task 6: Install Transceivers and Connect Cables

Connect the network cables to their respective port interfaces:
• Connect DAC cables to the SFP+/QSFP+ slots, or first install SFP+/QSFP+
transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports.
• For RJ-45 ports, connect using 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or better cable for
1000BASE-T connections.
As connections are made, check the port status LEDs to be sure the links are valid.
Go to Chapter 5 for further details.
