Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Ports
The Gigabit Ethernet ports, GE 1 and GE 2, use MT-RJ-type or LC-type
fiber-optic SFP modules and cables. The Fibre Channel ports, FC 1 and FC 2, use
LC-type fiber-optic SFP modules and cables. When connecting a cable to a
fiber-optic SFP module, make sure that you firmly press the cable plug into the
socket. The upper edge of the plug must snap into the upper front edge of the
socket and you should hear the plug click when it is locked into the socket. To
make sure that the plug is locked into the socket, gently pull on it.
To disconnect a plug from a socket, press the trigger on top of the plug, releasing
the latch. You should hear a click, which indicates that the latch has released.
Carefully pull the plug out of the socket.
Note:
When you disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the module, grip the body of the
connector. Do not grip the connector jacket-sleeve. Pulling on the sleeve can, over time,
compromise the integrity of the fiber-optic cable termination in the connector.
Dirt or skin oils may have accumulated on an MT-RJ plug faceplate (around the
optical-fiber openings), which can generate significant attenuation and reduce the
optical power levels below threshold levels so that a link cannot be made. To clean
an MT-RJ plug faceplate, follow this procedure:
1. Using a lint-free tissue soaked in 99 percent pure isopropyl alcohol, gently
wipe the faceplate.
2. Remove any residual dust from the faceplate with compressed air before
installing the cable.
Note:
When fiber-optic cable plugs and SFP module receptacles are disconnected
from each other, place dust covers on them.

Fibre Channel ports:
