Connecting the blade switch to the network

Precautions

Make sure the fiber connector and fiber type match the transceiver module type.
The fiber ports have shielded covers. Remove the shielded covers before using the fiber ports. Fiber
interfaces must be installed with shielded covers when they are not in use. Keep them safely.
Fiber connectors must be protected under safe and reliable outer packing, and be fitted with dust
caps. Fiber connectors must be installed with dust caps when they are not in use. Take care not to
scratch their end face. Replace the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.
Before connecting a fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end face of the
fiber connector. You can brush the end face only in one direction. You also need to brush the end
face of the fiber port.
Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it.
For the QSFP+ module, you do not need to differentiate between the transmitter (TX) and receiver
(RX) ports. For other types of transceiver modules, the Tx port on one end must connect to the RX port
on the other end.

Connecting the optical fibers

WARNING!
To avoid injury to your eyes, do not stare at the optical interfaces and optical fiber connectors when
connecting optical fibers.
You can install a transceiver module in a fiber port on the blade switch and then plug the fiber connector
to the transceiver module. For more information about installing the transceiver module, see Pluggable
SFP[SFP+][XFP] Transceiver Modules Installation Guide and Pluggable QSFP+ Transceiver
Modules/Cables Installation Guide.
To install a transceiver module into the port on the blade switch and the peer device:
Remove the dust cover of the fiber connector, and clean the end of the fiber connector.
1.
2.
Remove the dust plug of the transceiver module, plug one end of the optical fiber into the
transceiver module, and plug the other end into the transceiver module in the peer device.
