Chapter3 Connecting the Switch

Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port

Step2 Remove the dust cover from the connector on the cable.

Step3 Remove the dust cover from the cable end of the transceiver.

Step4 Align the cable connector with the transceiver and insert the connector into the transceiver until it clicks

into place.

Caution If the cable does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned before continuing.

For instructions on verifying connectivity, see the appropriate Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI

configuration guide.

Replacing a Cable for an SFP+ Transceiver

Caution When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,

because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.

Caution If the cable does not remove easily, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before

continuing.

To remove the cable, follow these steps:

Step1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step2 Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the

connector from the transceiver.

Step3 Either install a replacement cable in the SFP+ transceiver (see the “Installing a Cable into an SFP+

Transceiver” section on page3-6) or insert dust plugs into the cable end of the transceiver and the end

of the removed cable.

Connecting to a Fibre Channel Port

You can use an SFP transceiver to connect to a Fibre Channel port.

This section includes the following topics:

•Removing and Installing SFP Transceivers, page3-8

•Removing and Installing Cables into SFP Transceivers, page3-10

•Maintaining SFP Transceivers and Fiber-Optic Cables, page3-11
