3 Maintaining the Brocade 5100 Installing an SFP The Brocade 5100 only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an unqualified SFP, the switchShow command output shows the port in a Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in the system error log. Complete the following steps to install an SFP. 1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, place the SFP in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 6. 2. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail. NOTE Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.

This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use. 22 Brocade 5100 Hardware Reference Manual 53-1000854-02
