Steps
1. Remove the fiber-optic cable that is inserted into the transceiver.
a. Make certain the fiber-optic cable is labeled before removing it.
b. Press the release clip on the bottom of the cable connector to remove the fiber-optic cable from
the transceiver.
CAUTION: Touching the end of a fiber-optic cable damages the cable. Whenever a fiber-
optic cable is not connected, replace the protective covers on the ends of the cables.
2. Open the transceiver module latching mechanism.
3. Grasp the bail clasp latch on the transceiver module and pull the latch out and down to eject the
transceiver module from the socket.
4. Slide the transceiver module out of the port.

Fibre Channel Zoning
When using Fibre Channel for front-end connectivity, zones must be established to ensure that storage is
visible to the servers. Use the zoning concepts discussed in this section to plan the front-end connectivity
before starting to cable the
storage system.
Zoning can be applied to either the ports on switches or to the World Wide Names (WWNs) of the end
devices.
Dell recommends creating zones using a single initiator host port and multiple Storage Center ports.
WWN Zoning Guidelines
When WWN zoning is configured, a device may reside on any port, or change physical ports and still be
visible, because the switch is seeking a WWN.
List of guidelines for WWN zoning.
• Include all Storage Center virtual WWNs in a single zone.
• Include all Storage Center physical WWNs in a single zone.
• For each host server HBA port, create a zone that includes the single HBA WWN and multiple Storage
Center virtual WWNs on the same switch.
• For Fibre Channel replication:
– Include all Storage Center physical WWNs from Storage Center system A and Storage Center
system B in a single zone.
