Cabling
and
configuring
the
SAN16B-2
You
must
configure
the
switch
to
ensure
correct
operation
within
a
network
and
fabric.
For
instructions
about
how
to
configure
the
switch
to
operate
in
a
fabric
that
contains
switches
from
other
vendors,
refer
to
the
Brocade
Fabric
OS
Administrator’s
Guide
.

Recommendations
for
cable
management
Attention:
The
minimum
bend
radius
for
a
50
micron
cable
is
51
mm
(2
in.)
under
full
tensile
load
and
30.5
mm
(1.2
in.)
with
no
tensile
load.
Because
they
are
easily
overtightened,
tie
wraps
are
not
recommended
for
optical
cables.
Cables
can
be
organized
and
managed
in
a
variety
of
ways:
for
example,
using
cable
channels
on
the
sides
of
the
cabinet
or
patch
panels
to
minimize
cable
management.
A
list
of
recommendations
follows:
v
Plan
for
rack
space
required
for
cable
management
before
installing
the
switch.
v
Leave
at
least
1
meter
(3.28
ft)
of
slack
for
each
port
cable.
This
provides
room
to
remove
and
replace
the
switch,
allows
for
inadvertent
movement
of
the
rack,
and
helps
prevent
the
cables
from
being
bent
to
less
than
the
minimum
bend
radius.
v
If
you
are
using
ISL
Trunking,
consider
grouping
cables
by
trunking
groups.
The
cables
used
in
trunking
groups
must
meet
specific
requirements,
as
described
in
the
Brocade
Fabric
OS
Administrator’s
Guide
.
v
For
easier
maintenance,
label
the
fiber
optic
cables
and
record
the
devices
to
which
they
are
connected.
v
Keep
LEDs
visible
by
routing
port
cables
and
other
cables
away
from
the
LEDs.
v
Use
Velcro
straps
to
secure
and
organize
fibre
optic
cables.
Do
not
use
tie
wraps
on
fiber
optic
cables,
because
wraps
are
easily
overtightened
and
can
damage
the
optic
fibers.
