Install Transceivers and Connect Cables
Install SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers and connect network cables to port interfaces:
◆ Connect DAC cables to the SFP+/QSFP+ slots. Or first install SFP+/QSFP+
transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports.
◆ For the RJ-45 Management port, use 100-ohm Category 5, 5e or better cable for
1000BASE-T connections.
As connections are made, check the port status LEDs to be sure the links are valid.
