Installing transceivers and attaching cables
The following two sets of steps cover the installation of transceivers and cables for most SFPs and
for QSFPs.
Installing SFP+ and mSFP transceivers and cables
Complete the following steps to install SFP-type optical transceivers.
NOTE
mSFP transceivers are compatible only with the FC8-64 port blade. While they will fit in other
blades, this configuration is unsupported and will generate an error.
The ports are color-coded to indicate which can be used in the same port group for trunking
(trunking port groups can be up to eight ports). The ports and cables used in trunking groups must
meet specific requirements. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for more information.
1. Add the optical transceivers and cables to the Fibre Channel ports.
The ports are color-coded to indicate which can be used in the same port group for trunking
(trunking port groups can be up to 8 ports). The ports and cables used in trunking groups must
meet specific requirements. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
2. Position one of the optical transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert
the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a
transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
3. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with
the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism
clicks.
