Install the SFP transceivers

The SAN Switch does not ship with SFPs. For a list of supported SFPs, see

Table

2

on page 33.

The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of

these requirements, see the ISL Trunking chapter in the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.
To install the SFP transceivers:

1.

Position the 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 the transceiver does not install easily, make sure it is oriented correctly.
For instructions specific to the transceiver you are using, see the transceiver

manufacturer’s documentation.

2.

Repeat

step 1

for the remaining ports, as required.
