To connect the Ethernet cable to a 1G SFP ﬁber, 10G SFP+, or 40G QSFP+ transceiver

1. Remove the dust caps from the transceiver and cable.

2. Insert the LC connector on one end of the fiber optic cable into the appropriate port on the front panel of the

appliance.

3. Insert the connector on the other end into the target device, such as a router or switch.

4. Verify that the LED glows amber when the connection is established.

Connecting the Console Cable

You can use the console cable to connect your appliance to a computer or terminal, from which you can configure the

appliance. Alternatively, you can use a computer connected to the network. Before connecting the console cable,

configure the computer or terminal to support VT 100 terminal emulation, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, parity, and flow

control set to NONE. Then connect one end of the console cable to the RS232 serial port on the appliance and the other

end to the computer or terminal.

To connect the console cable to a computer or terminal

1. Insert the DB-9 connector at the end of the cable into the console port that is located on the front panel of the

appliance, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 8. Inserting a console cable

Note: To use a cable with an RJ-45 converter, insert the optional converter provided into the console port and attach

the cable to it.

2. Insert the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable into the serial port of the computer or terminal.

Connecting the Power Cable

An SDX 8015/8400/8600 appliance has one power cable. All the other appliances come with two power cables, but they

can also operate if only one power cable is connected. A separate ground cable is not required, because the three-prong

plug provides grounding.

To connect the appliance to the power source

1. Connect one end of the power cable to the power outlet on the back panel of the appliance, next to the power supply,

as shown in the following figure.
