c.Connect the cables to the SFPs as appropriate to the fabric topology. Position each cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the SFP. Then, insert the cable into the SFP until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
Note The cable is keyed so that it can only be inserted correctly into the
SFP. If the cable does not slide in easily, ensure it is correctly oriented.
8.Optional: Verify the correct operation of the FC 16B by entering the
following command from a workstation: switchShow. This command provides information about the status of the switch and the ports. For more information about this and other commands, refer to the Fabric OS Procedures Guide.
Use the cfgSave and cfgEnable commands to save any zone configurations before the switch is powered off.. The saved configuration is automatically reloaded by the switch on power up. If a configuration was enabled at the time it was saved, the same configuration is reinstalled with an automatic cfgEnable command.
Saving the System Configuration Files
Upload the switch configuration file for disaster recovery and keep it in a safe place where it can be easily found. Backing up the configuration after the initial configuration changes and periodically thereafter is strongly recommended.
Backing up the Switch Configuration Settings
FTP must be used on Windows workstations to backup the system configuration. The FTP server must be running before an upload can occur. Use the RSHD service or FTP on a UNIX machine.
Note The two supplied utilities, RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE currently do not support uploads for Windows, only downloads. These utilities are available from the support web site: http://www.hp.com/support/fc16B.
