Installing the SAN Switch 2/8 Connecting a Cable to an SFP Module Use these steps to connect the SFPs and cables to SAN Switch 2/8 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 V3.0.x/V4.0.x User Guide. 1. Remove the shipping plugs 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. hp StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8 Installation Guide 55
