2. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until the latching mechanism clicks. The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. 3. Repeat for the remaining ports, as required. Connecting the cables See "Installing fiber-optic cables" on page 31 for more detailed instructions with illustrations. Attention: The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load, and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Because they are easily overtightened, tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables. Connect the cables to the transceivers: 1. Remove the plugs from the end of the cable and from the SFP. 2. The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. Orient a cable connector so that the key (ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the slot in the transceiver and insert cable into transceiver until latching mechanism clicks. If a cable does not install easily, ensure it is correctly oriented. For instructions specific to cable type, refer to the cable manufacturer's documentation. 3. Repeat for the remaining cables and transceivers, as required. The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Verifying the configuration After you complete the configuration, use the LEDs and commands to verify that the configuration has been accepted: 1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, refer to "Interpreting LED activity" on page 21. 2. Verify the correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow command from the workstation. This command provides information about the switch and port status. 3. Verify the correct operation of the switch in the fabric by entering the fabricShow command from the workstation. This command provides general information about the fabric. Backing up the configuration Back up regularly to ensure that a recent configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch, if required. For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by entering the configUpload command and following the prompts. This command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary. 20 SAN16B-2 Installation, Service, and User's Guide

2.
Position
a
transceiver
so
that
it
is
oriented
correctly
and
insert
it
into
a
port
until
the
latching
mechanism
clicks.
The
transceivers
are
keyed
to
ensure
correct
orientation.
If
a
transceiver
does
not
install
easily,
ensure
that
it
is
correctly
oriented.
3.
Repeat
for
the
remaining
ports,
as
required.
Connecting
the
cables
See
“Installing
fiber-optic
cables”
on
page
31
for
more
detailed
instructions
with
illustrations.
Attention:
The
minimum
bend
radius
for
a
50-micron
cable
is
2
inches
under
full
tensile
load,
and
1.2
inches
with
no
tensile
load.
Because
they
are
easily
overtightened,
tie
wraps
are
not
recommended
for
optical
cables.
Connect
the
cables
to
the
transceivers:
1.
Remove
the
plugs
from
the
end
of
the
cable
and
from
the
SFP.
2.
The
cable
connectors
are
keyed
to
ensure
correct
orientation.
Orient
a
cable
connector
so
that
the
key
(ridge
on
one
side
of
connector)
aligns
with
the
slot
in
the
transceiver
and
insert
cable
into
transceiver
until
latching
mechanism
clicks.
If
a
cable
does
not
install
easily,
ensure
it
is
correctly
oriented.
For
instructions
specific
to
cable
type,
refer
to
the
cable
manufacturer's
documentation.
3.
Repeat
for
the
remaining
cables
and
transceivers,
as
required.
The
cables
used
in
trunking
groups
must
meet
specific
requirements.
For
a
list
of
these
requirements,
refer
to
the
Brocade
Fabric
OS
Administrator’s
Guide
.
Verifying
the
configuration
After
you
complete
the
configuration,
use
the
LEDs
and
commands
to
verify
that
the
configuration
has
been
accepted:
1.
Check
the
LEDs
to
verify
that
all
components
are
functional.
For
information
about
LED
patterns,
refer
to
“Interpreting
LED
activity”
on
page
21.
2.
Verify
the
correct
operation
of
the
switch
by
entering
the
switchShow
command
from
the
workstation.
This
command
provides
information
about
the
switch
and
port
status.
3.
Verify
the
correct
operation
of
the
switch
in
the
fabric
by
entering
the
fabricShow
command
from
the
workstation.
This
command
provides
general
information
about
the
fabric.
Backing
up
the
configuration
Back
up
regularly
to
ensure
that
a
recent
configuration
is
available
for
downloading
to
a
replacement
switch,
if
required.
For
specific
instructions
about
how
to
back
up
the
configuration,
refer
to
the
Brocade
Fabric
OS
Administrator’s
Guide
.
Back
up
the
switch
configuration
to
an
FTP
server
by
entering
the
configUpload
command
and
following
the
prompts.
This
command
uploads
the
switch
configuration
to
the
server,
making
it
available
for
downloading
to
a
replacement
switch,
if
necessary.
