Transceivers and cables are keyed so that they can
be inserted only one way. If a transceiver or cable
does not slide in easily, make sure it is oriented
correctly.
Do not insert a cable intended for an mSFP transceiver
into a regular SFP+ transceiver; you may damage the
cable. The mSFP transceivers and cables are supported
only with the 64-port 8Gb/s blade for the SN8000B
SAN directors. Do not force a standard SFP cable into
an mSFP transceiver; you may damage the transceiver.

Fibre Channel port
To connect devices:
1.
Install the SFP+ transceivers in the Fibre Channel
ports on the switch to match the ports shown on
the screen (see
using an SFP+ transceiver that does not have a
pull tab, ensure that the wire bail is in the
unlocked position.
a.
Remove any protector plugs from the SFP+
transceiver. Insert each SFP+ transceiver
(right side up in the top row of ports, and
upside down in the bottom row of ports) until
it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism
clicks.
The 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceivers do not have
bails. Use the pull tab on the 16 Gb/s SFP+
transceiver to push the transceiver into the
port.
b.
Close the latching bail on the non- 1 6 Gb/s
SFP+ transceiver.
2.
Connect the Fibre Channel cables from the switch
to your host and storage devices. Ensure that the
physical connections match the connections on
the Device Connection screen.
a.
Remove the plastic protector caps from the
Fibre Channel cable ends (if there are any),
and position the cable connector so that it is
oriented correctly.
b.
Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on
one side of the cable connector) is aligned
with the slot in the transceiver (see
Figure 9 (page
c.
Insert the cable into the transceiver until the
latching mechanism clicks.
d.
The Device Connection screen shows missing,
valid, and invalid connections as you cable
the switch. It can take up to 15 seconds for
the screen to display the connection as valid.
Verify that the connections display green and
then click Next.

Verify switch operation

1.
Check the LEDs to verify that all components are
functional. For information about LED patterns,
see the HP SN6000B 16Gb 48-port Fibre
Channel Switch Hardware Reference Guide.
2.
Verify the correct operation of the switch by
issuing the switchShow command.
This command provides information about switch
and port status.
3.
Verify the correct operation of the fabric by
issuing the fabricShow command.
This command provides general information about
the fabric.
