Installing an SFP transceiver(1) and optical cable (2)

NOTE: The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron fiber optic cable is 2 inches under full
tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Because they are easily overtightened, tie
wraps are not recommended for optical cables.
The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. Orient a cable connector so that
the key (ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the slot in the transceiver, and insert the
cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. If a cable does not install easily,
ensure it is correctly oriented. For instructions specific to cable type, refer to the cable
manufacturer's documentation.
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these
requirements, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.0 features overview.
