The numbers provided above represent the accepted recommendations of the various standards. For network-specific recommendations, consult your local Brocade reseller or system engineer. To connect a BigIron RX Series switch to another network device, you must do the following: • Install the fiber optic modules • Cable the fiber optic modules The following sections provide information about performing these tasks as well as cleaning the fiber optic connectors and troubleshooting network connections. Installing a fiber optic module You connect a BigIron RX Series switch to another network device using a fiber port, you must do the following: • Install a fiber optic module (SFP transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet ports or SFP-MSA transceiver for 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports) DANGER All fiber optic interfaces use Class 1 Lasers. NOTE Refer to "Installation precautions" on page 25 for other hardware installation precautions. Before installing a fiber optic module, have on hand an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the BigIron RX Series chassis. DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 meg ohm series resistor. To install a fiber optic module into an Ethernet port, do the following. 1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located in the upper right corner of the chassis front. 2. Remove the module from its protective packaging. 3. Remove the metal cover from the port on the interface module's control panel. 106 BigIron RX Installation Guide 53-1001811-01
