7. Add the SFPs (small form factor pluggable media) and cables to the ports as required by
completing the following steps:
Note The ports and FC cables used in trunking groups must meet specific
requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the ISL Trunking User’s Guide.
CAUTION Configure each port to match the topology of each host or target before
connecting to the device. The default port configuration is fabric, not private loop. The
switch does not auto-sense topology.
a. Remove the shipping plug from the ports to be used.
b. Position the SFP so that the key (the tab near the cable-end of the SFP) is on top, and
insert the SFP into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
For more specific instructions, refer to the SFP manufacturer’s documentation.
Note The SFP is keyed so that it can only be inserted with the correct orientation
into the port. If the SFP does not slide in easily, ensure it is correctly oriented.
c. Connect the cables to the SFPs as appropriate to the fabric topology. Position each
cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the
slot in the SFP. Then, insert the cable into the SFP until it is firmly seated and the
latching mechanism clicks.
Note The cable is keyed so that it can only be inserted correctly into the SFP. If the
cable does not slide in easily, ensure it is correctly oriented.
8. Optional: Verify the correct operation of the FC 16B by entering the following command
from a workstation:
switchShow. This command provides information about the status
of the switch and the ports. For more information about this and other commands, refer
to the Fabric OS Procedures Guide.
Saving the System Configuration Files
Upload the switch configuration file for disaster recovery and keep it in a safe place where
it can be easily found. Backing up the configuration after the initial configuration changes
and periodically thereafter is strongly recommended.
