Connect cables to Fibre Channel ports
Perform this task to connect devices to the switch. To cable Fibre Channel ports:
1.
Route single mode or multimode fiber-optic cables (depending on the type of SFP pluggable
optic transceivers installed) from the desired devices to ports at the front of the switch.
2.
Connect device cables to small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers.
3.
Perform one of the following:
a. If the switch is installed on a table or desk top, bundle and secure the Fibre Channel cables
as directed by the customer.
b. If the switch is installed in an HP-supplied equipment rack, bundle Fibre Channel cables from
the switch and other equipment (groups of 16 maximum), and secure them as directed by the
customer.
4.
Set the switch online.
Connect the switch to a Fabric
To provide Fibre Channel connectivity between public devices and fabric-attached devices, connect
the switch to an expansion port (E_Port) of an HP director or switch. The switch port to switch port
connection is called an interswitch link (ISL). To fabric-attach the switch and create an ISL:
1.
Ensure that the switch is defined to the HAFM application or defined to the HAFM appliance
(defined while performing
2.
Ensure that the preferred domain ID for the switch is unique and does not conflict with the ID of
another switch or director participating in the fabric. To change the domain ID, see
Switch Operating
• If the domain ID must be changed from the HAFM interface, see
Operating
• If the domain ID must be changed from the Element manager, see

parameters" on page 76.
3.
Ensure that the R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV values for the switch are identical to the values for all
switches participating in the fabric. To change the values, see
parameters" on page 44.
4.
Route a multimode or single mode fiber-optic cable (depending on the type of SFP transceiver
installed) from a customer-specified E_Port of the switch to the switch.
5.
Connect the switch-attached fiber-optic cable to the port SFP transceiver.
6.
If the switch is managed by an attached HAFM appliance, go to
managed by the Embedded Web Server interface:
a. Select View at the left side of the window. The View window opens with the Switch tab
selected and displayed.
b. At the View window, click the Port Properties tab. The Port Properties page is displayed with
0 selected, and port information listed for port 0.
