Reconnecting the system to the network and fabric

See the cable routing information recorded in
1. Connect the CP blades to the local area network.
a) Insert the appropriate Ethernet cables into each Ethernet port.
b) Connect the other ends to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN, if not already connected.
NOTE
The Brocade DCX can be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management tools, such as
Telnet or Web Tools. Ensure that the Brocade DCX is not modified using other connections during the rest of this
procedure.
2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades:
NOTE
The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer
to theBrocade Fabric OS Administration Guide.
a) Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port and insert the transceiver into the port until it
is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
b) Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is
aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
c) Repeat the above two sub-steps for the remaining ports.
ATTENTION
Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vent (located on the upper port side of the chassis).
d) Organize the cables as required.
