Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel
Ports
The Gigabit Ethernet ports (GE 1 and GE 2) and the Fibre Channel ports (FC 1
though FC 8) use LC-type fiber-optic SFP modules and cables.
When connecting a cable to a fiber-optic SFP module, make sure that you firmly
press the cable plug into the socket. The upper edge of the plug must snap into the
upper front edge of the socket. You should hear the plug click when it is locked
into the socket. To make sure that the plug is locked into the socket, gently pull
on it.
To disconnect a plug from a socket, press the trigger on top of the plug, releasing
the latch. You should hear a click, which indicates that the latch has released.
Carefully pull the plug out of the socket.
Note When you disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the module, grip the body of the
connector. Do not grip the connector jacket-sleeve. Gripping the sleeve can, over
time, compromise the integrity of the fiber-optic cable termination in the
connector.
Note When fiber-optic cable plugs and SFP module receptacles are disconnected from
each other, place dust covers on them.

Fibre Channel ports:
