NOTE
Some older SFP modules (mini-GBICs for Gigabit Ethernet ports) have latching mechanisms which
are larger than the newer parts. These latches could interfere with one another when inserted side
by side into a module. Avoid using these mini-GBICs side by side in the same module. These older
modules are identified by the number PL-XPL-00-S13-22 or PL-XPL-00-L13-23 above the Serial
Number. All newer mini-GBICs do not have this limitation.
Before installing a fiber optic module, have the following on hand:
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
To install a fiber optic module into a Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, complete the
following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the lower right corner of the chassis front.
2. Remove the module from its protective packaging.
3. If necessary, remove the metal cover from the port on the interface module’s control panel.
4. Gently insert the fiber-optic module into the port until the module clicks into place. The
fiber-optic modules are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Cabling a fiber optic module
To cable a fiber-optic module, complete the following tasks.
1. Remove the protective covering from the fiber optic module and store the covering for future
use.
2. Before cabling a fiber optic module, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable
connectors and the port connectors. For more information, refer to
.
3. Gently insert the cable connector or connectors a tab on each connector should face upward)
into the port connector or connectors until the tabs lock into place.
Cleaning fiber optic modules
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC) or XFP) and
the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you
disconnect and reconnect them. Refer to
