To install a cable into a transceiver, follow these steps:

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2

Remove the dust cover from the connector on the cable.

Step 3

Remove the dust plug from the cable end of the transceiver.

Step 4

Align the cable connector with the transceiver and insert the connector into the transceiver until it clicks into place.

Figure 16: Connecting an LC-Type Cable to a Fibre Channel Port

The LC connector has keys to allow insertion only one way into the transceiver. If the cable does not install
easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented before continuing.

Caution

For instructions on verifying connectivity, see the

Cisco Fabric Manager Fundamentals Configuration Guide

and the

Cisco NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide

Removing a Cable from an SFP Transceiver

• When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve

because this can compromise the fiber optic termination in the connector.

• If the cable does not remove easily, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before

continuing.

Caution

To remove the cable, follow these steps:

Step 1

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2

Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the connector from
the transceiver.

Step 3

Insert a dust plug into the cable-end of the transceiver.
