blade for the SN8000B SAN directors. Do not attempt to insert a standard SFP cable into an mSFP
transceiver; you can damage the transceiver.
Procedure
1.
Install the SFP+ transceivers in the FC ports on the switch to match the ports displayed in the
Device
Connection
window.
If you are using an SFP+ transceiver that does not have a pull tab, ensure that the wire bail is in the
unlocked position. See
Figure 31: Inserting an SFP+ transceiver with no pull tab in an FC port
on
page 48.
NOTE:
Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom.
Insert an SFP+ transceiver into the upper row of ports with the gold edge down. Insert an SFP+
transceiver into the lower row of ports with the gold edge up.
a.
Remove any protector plugs from the SFP+ transceiver. Insert each SFP+ transceiver (right side up
in the top row of ports, and upside down in the bottom row of ports) until it is firmly seated and the
latching mechanism clicks.
The 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceiver does not have a bail. Use the pull tab to push the transceiver into
the port.
b.
Close the latching bail if there is one.
