2 Connecting devices and completing the setup additional currently unoccupied ports for future HBA or Storage connections. These additional reservations are also reflected in the zoning scheme, and are shown on the Display Devices screen in the EZManager application to remind you where these additional devices can be connected. The default reservation type is HBA. FIGURE 17 Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen When you click Next on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen, if Typical Zoning is used, the final set of connection reservations shown on the screen is translated internally into a zoning scheme that ensures that every correctly connected host device can communicate separately with every correctly connected storage device. If this is not what you want (for example, if you want to partition your devices so that each HBA can communicate with some storage devices but not others), then you should re-run the Setup wizard and select Custom Zoning or Advanced Zoning instead of Typical Zoning. Use the following procedure to make the physical connections. 1. Install the small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports shown onscreen. (See Figure 18 on page 21). a. Remove any protector plugs from the SFP transceivers to be used. b. Position and insert each SFP transceiver as required (right side up in the top row of ports and upside down in the bottom row of ports) until it is firmly seated. c. Close the latching bale. 20 EZSwitchSetup Administrator's Guide 53-1001193-02

on the
Configure Ports and Connect Devices
screen, if

the final set of connection reservations shown on the screen is translated internally into a zoning
scheme that ensures that every correctly connected host device can communicate separately with
every correctly connected storage device. If this is not what you want (for example, if you want to
partition your devices so that each HBA can communicate with some storage devices but not
others), then you should re-run the Setup wizard and select
Custom Zoning
or
Advanced Zoning
instead of
Typical Zoning
.
Use the following procedure to make the physical connections.
1.
Install the small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports shown
onscreen. (See
Figure 18
on page 21).
a.
Remove any protector plugs from the SFP transceivers to be used.
b.
Position and insert each SFP transceiver as required (right side up in the top row of ports
and upside down in the bottom row of ports) until it is firmly seated.
c.
Close the latching bale.
