Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Connecting the SAN Switch 2/32 to the Fabric Use these steps to connect the SFPs and cables to SAN Switch 2/32 ports as required. Note: The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the HP StorageWorks ISL Trunking Version 3.0.x/4.0.x User Guide. 1. Remove the shipping plug from the appropriate ports. 2. Position the SFP so that the key (the tab near the cable-end of the SFP) is on top. 3. Insert the SFP into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. 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, check the orientation. 4. Connect the cables to the SFPs as appropriate to the fabric topology, by positioning each cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the SFP; see Figure 15. 56 SAN Switch 2/32 Installation Guide
