WARNING: The domain ID will be changed. The port level zoning may be affected
c.
Re-enable the SAN I/O Module by entering the switchEnable command.
NOTE
It could take a short time (typically a few seconds, but sometimes a little longer) for the newly added SAN I/O
Module to appear in the fabric display with its newly assigned domain ID.
4. If you need to install SFP transceivers, install them in the external Fibre Channel ports as required.
a. Remove the dust plugs from the ports to be used.
b. If necessary, remove the end caps from the SFP.
c.
Orient the transceiver 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.
d. Repeat substeps a, b, and c for the remaining ports, as required.
5. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented and that the end caps have been removed. The cables used in trunking groups must meet
specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
ATTENTION
A cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5.08 cm (2 inches) under full tensile load and 3.048 cm (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.
b. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable
type, refer to the cable manufacturer's documentation.
c.
Repeat for the remaining transceivers as required.
6. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
For information about LED patterns, see the "Operating the SAN I/O Module" chapter in the Brocade 4424 SAN
Blade Server I/O Module Hardware Reference Manual.
7.
Verify the correct operation of the SAN I/O Module by typing the switchShow command from the workstation.
This command provides information about SAN I/O Module and port status.
8. Verify the correct operation of the SAN I/O Module in the fabric by typing the fabricShow CLI command from the
workstation.
