Connecting the network cable
The NC523SFP has two SFP+ ports. These ports support either of the following:
•
Direct Attached Copper (DAC) cables
•
Optical Modules to be used with fiber optic cables
See Cable specifications (on page
) for the maximum cable length supported.
To connect the NC523SFP to the network, complete the following steps:
1.
Orient the SFP+ optical module or DAC cable so that the Gold Fingers on the edge of the circuit
board is located closest to the option card circuit board.
2.
Install the SFP+ optical module or DAC cable all the way into the SFP+ socket until it clicks into place
and is securely latched.
3.
If an optical module is used, remove the protective cover and connect the fiber optic cable.
