USER’S GUIDE

SFP COMPATIBILITY

SFPs are “hot-pluggable” into the switch, which allows host computers, servers, and storage devices to be added dynamically without requiring power removal from the switch or any connected devices.

The switch supports Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) modules that comply with the SFP specification as produced by the MSA consortium and have passed Emulex’s qualification testing.

The following manufacturers of 1-2Gb optical, shortwave SFPs are recommended:

•Finisar

•JDS Uniphase

Contact a customer service representative to request the certified part numbers for these vendors.

Installing an SFP

If the Change Notification on Insertion policy is enabled, plugging an SFP into the switch will automatically send an F7 Initialization notification to indicate the device is ready to begin initialization.

Caution: Forcing an SFP into a port may damage the SFP and/or port.

To insert an SFP:

1.Remove dust covers or plugs from the SFPs, if provided.

2.Slide the SFP into the port, ensuring correct polarity, until the latch clicks into place.

Removing an SFP

To extract an SFP:

Determine what kind of extraction mechanism the SFP has and remove the SFP as follows:

If the SFP has a removal tag, remove the cable from the SFP and then pull the removal tag outward and toward the side of the SFP with the tag.

If the SFP has a small plastic slider on the top or bottom, remove the cable from the SFP and then push in the slider and hold while pulling out the SFP.

If the SFP has a bale (small metal clasp), remove the cable from the SFP and then unlatch, pivot, and pull the bale.

Attaching a Device to the Switch

To attach a device:

1.Make sure that the device is FC-AL compatible.

2.Attach a cable to the device.

3.Attach the other end of the cable to an SFP.

4.Make sure that the device and switch are operational and set to the same speed.
