Connecting The San Switch 2/32 To The Fabric; Inserting A Cable Into An Sfp - HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/32 Installation Manual

Connecting the SAN Switch 2/32 to the Fabric

Use these steps to connect the SFPs and cables to SAN Switch 2/32 ports as required.
NOTE: The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a
list of these requirements, refer to the hp StorageWorks ISL Trunking Version 3.0.x/4.0.x User
Guide.
1. Remove the shipping plug from the appropriate ports.
2. Position the SFP so that the key (the tab near the cable-end of the SFP) is on top.
3. Insert the SFP into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism
clicks.
NOTE: The SFP is keyed so that it can only be inserted with the correct orientation into the
port. If the SFP does not slide in easily, check the orientation.
4. Connect the cables to the SFPs as appropriate to the fabric topology, by
positioning each cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable
connector) is aligned with the slot in the SFP, see Figure 2–13.

NOTE: The cable is keyed so that it can only be inserted correctly into the SFP. If the cable
does not slide in easily, check the orientation.
