Cable Devices to the Switch

Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and then energize the devices. Device host bus adapters can have SFP (or SFF) transceivers or GigaBit Interface Converters (GBIC). LC-type duplex fiber optic cable connectors are designed for SFP transceivers, while SC-type connectors are designed for GBICs. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper orientation. Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector combination that matches the device host bus adapter.

GL_Ports self configure as FL_Ports when connected to loop of devices or

F_Ports when connected to a single device. G_Ports self configure as F_Ports when connected to a single device. Both GL_Ports and G_Ports self configure as E_Ports when connected to another switch.

You can use the CLI, QuickTools, or Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 to install new firmware. This guide describes how to install firmware using QuickTools and the CLI. Refer to the SANbox 5000 Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide for information about installing firmware using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.
