3. Connect a 10 Gb optical network cable to left 10 Gb port (as seen from the rear of the
Engine) on the Engine Controller of the ISIS 2000 Engine. No other 10 Gb port on the
Engine has been configured for this connection.
The 10 Gb port on the ISIS 2000 Engine Controller requires an SFP+ transceiver. When
using SFP+ transceivers, Short Range (SR) is the preferred choice over Long Range (LR).
4. Connect the other end of the 10 Gb network cable to a 10 Gb port on your ISIS 2000 switch.
Depending on the type of switch you have, an X2 or SFP+ transceiver might be needed for
the switch port.

The Force10 S4810 switches need SFP+ transceivers with an LC to LC cable connection. The
Cisco 4900M switches need an X2 transceiver for the SC type connector with an LC to SC cable
connection.
5. When using a 1 Gb connection between the ISIS 2000 System Director and the switch, you
must turn off the CIFS service after you have installed the ISIS 2000 software.
a.
The first time you set up the ISIS 2000 Engine you must connect to the Management
port to on the Engine Controller to configure the IP address, see
Network Address On the Engine” on page 55
.
b.
Install the ISIS 2000 software as described in Loading the Software.
c.
Disable the CIFS service as described in Turning Off the CIFS Service With a 1 Gb
Connected System Director.
Connecting Network Cables with a 10 Gb System
Director Connection
Connect the ISIS 2000 System Director and Engine to the switch using 10 Gb Ethernet cables as
described in this section.
Depending on the type of switch you have, an X2 or SFP+ transceiver is needed for your 10 Gb
port connections. When using SFP+ transceivers, Short Range (SR) is the preferred choice over
Long Range (LR). The 10 Gb ports on the System Director and the Force10 S4810 switches need
an SFP+ transceiver for LC type connectors. The Cisco 4900M switches need an X2 transceiver
for SC type connectors. For more information on ISIS cables and transceivers, see

The network switch used in the illustrations in the section is the Force10 S4810 switch. For an
up-to-date list of ISIS 2000 switches, see the
