Brocade ICX 6650 Hardware Installation Guide - Manual (Page 51)

CAUTION
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Use the following steps to install a transceiver:
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such
as an equipment rack) to act as ground.
2. Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.
3. Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent
incorrect insertion.
Cabling a fiber-optic transceiver
Perform the following steps to cable a fiber-optic transceiver.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for
future use.
NOTE
Before cabling a fiber-optic transceiver,Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable
connectors and the port connectors. For more information, refer to
Cleaning the fiber-optic
connectors on page 61.
2. Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver
connector until the tabs lock into place.
3. Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly.
For more information about the LED indicators, refer to
LED activity interpretation on page 51.
Cleaning the fiber-optic connectors
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber-optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+) and
the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you
disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems, such as
reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber-optic reel-type cleaner. When
not using an SFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.
Testing connectivity
Test for connectivity by observing the LEDs related to network connection.
Pinging an IP address
To verify that a Brocade ICX 6650 can reach another device through the network, enter a command
similar to the following at any level of the CLI.
device# ping 192.168.0.0
