required. The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet
specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
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.
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.
2. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
CAUTION
A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 in.
under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with no tensile load.
Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they
are easily overtightened.
