a. Remove the plugs from the ports to be used.
b. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert
it into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching
mechanism clicks.
For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, refer to the
transceiver manufacturer's documentation.
Note: The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver
does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
c. Repeat Steps a and b for the remaining ports, as required.
5. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific
requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the EMC
Connectrix B Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
CAUTION
!
A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 inches
under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.
Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are
easily overtightened.
a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side
of connector) aligns with the slot in the transceiver. Then,
insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching
mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, refer
to the cable manufacturer's documentation.
Note: The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a
transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
