5.2.2 New Installation
On new installations, make sure that all steps in Chapter 2 are complete:
1. Check that the STA LED is green.
2. Check that the fiber type (multimode or single mode) matches the L351 optical mode.
3. Make these checks:
• All fiber cabling is of the same type; do not mix multimode and single mode cables.
• The fiber optic cable is within the specifications and loss budget of the optic interface
module.
• The line length between the L351 and the remote link does not exceed the allowable loss
budget or overdrive limit.
• All host modules in the link are turned on.
• All fiber cables are connected Tx to Rx and Rx to Tx.
5.2.3 SW2 and SW3 Settings Ignored
If the L351 was installed in a UCS 1000 or 1002 and set in the User Interface to software control, it
ignores the hardware switch settings. To restore it to hardware control, access the Utilities screen and
reset the configuration to default. For details on setting the L351 hardware switches, reference
Chapter 2.
5.2.4 Problems With Fiber Optics
If the System Alarms screen shows that an Extension Port link is down, inspect and clean the cables
and connectors, then replace any damaged fiber. Retest modules after cleaning.
