Power on the device, and ping the peer device connected by the new network
cable. If the peer device cannot be pinged, check whether the network cable is
damaged or the connectors are securely connected.
Step 9 Bind the new network cable with other cables.
Bind the new network cable in the same way as the existing network cables. You
can also remove all cable ties and bind all of the network cables again if
necessary.

5.8.4 Connecting a Cable to an Optical Port
You can connect an optical or SFP+ cable to an optical port. You need to
determine the type of cable to be connected based on site requirements.
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap. For details, see
.
Step 2 Check the model of the new network cable.
Step 3 Number the new cable.
●
The new cable must have the same number as the old one.
●
Use the same type of labels for optical cables. Record the name and number
of the local device to be connected on one side of a label and those of the
peer device on the other side. Attach a label 2 cm (0.79 in.) away from the
end of a network cable.
Step 4 Lay out the new cable in the same way as the old one.
●
Lay out optical cables or SFP+ cables in the rack based on installation
regulations. You are advised to arrange cables in original mode. Ensure that
cables are routed neatly and intact.
●
Separate optical cables or SFP+ cables from power cables and signal cables
when laying out the cables.
●
Bend an optical cable or SFP+ cable with a bending radius of at least 4 cm
(1.57 in.) to prevent damage to core wires. Ensure that the cable is intact.
Ensure that optical cables or SFP+ cables are laid out for easy maintenance
and capacity expansion.
●
Bind optical cables with cable ties. Ensure that optical cables are routed
straightly and bound neatly and that cable ties are installed at even spacing
and fastened properly.
Step 5 Connect the cable to an optical port.
When you use an optical cable:
1. Remove the old optical cable from the server.
2. Connect the new optical cable.
– Connect the new optical cable to the same port as the old one.
– Connect the optical cables to the optical module securely.
a. Insert the optical module into the optical port. See (1) in
