based on the information that you entered when you configured zones and performed device selection. The screen shows the
connections as missing until you connect the devices that you specified.
a. Remove any protector plugs from the transceivers you are
going to use.
b. Position and insert each transceiver until it is firmly seated.
c. If the transceiver has a latching bale, close it.
In this illustration, the SFP transceivers have pull-out tabs (3)
instead of latching bales (4). However, you can opt to use
SFP transceivers with latching bales instead.
a. Remove plastic protector caps from the cable ends (if there are any),
and position the cable connector so that it is oriented correctly.
b. Insert the cable connector into the SFP or QSFP transceiver until it is
firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
c. The

valid, and invalid connections as you cable the switch. Note that it

Next.
The FCIP QSFP and SFP transceivers connect the Brocade 7840

host or storage devices.
