NOTE
Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to insert an SFP into the
upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP into the lower row of ports is with
the gold edge up.

4. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
NOTE
The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable does not install easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented.
a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of the connector) aligns with the slot in the
transceiver. Then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions
specific to cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s documentation.
b. Repeat Step a for the remaining cables.
5. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
6. Verify the correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow command from the workstation.
