Cabling the FC4- 1 6IP Blade
To complete the switch configuration:
1. Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel, as required.
a. Remove the rubber 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, see 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 1a and 1b for the remaining ports, as required.
2. Connect the cables to the transceivers for FC ports or directly into the RJ-45 connections for iSCSI ports.
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, see the cable manufacturer's documentation.
b. Repeat Step 2a for the remaining cables as required.
