Brocade FCoE Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter: Installation and User Guide
Connecting the SFP+ module cable
ATTENTION
To avoid damage to the fiber optic cables, follow these guidelines:
•
Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
•
When you attach the cable to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that it
does not bend to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when the device is extended or become
pinched when the device is retracted.
•
Route the cable away from places where it can be snagged by other devices in the rack.
•
Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.).
•
Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Make sure that the cable is well
supported.
To connect the SFP+ module cable, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the protective caps from the end of the fiber optic cable.
