Quick Start Guide

c. Connect the cables to the SFPs as appropriate to the fabric topology.

Position each cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable
connector) is aligned with the slot in the SFP. Then, insert the cable
into the SFP until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.

Note

The cable is keyed so that it can only be inserted correctly into the

SFP. If the cable does not slide in easily, ensure it is correctly oriented.

8. Optional: Verify the correct operation of the FC 16B by entering the

following command from a workstation:

switchShow

. This command

provides information about the status of the switch and the ports. For more
information about this and other commands, refer to the Fabric OS
Procedures Guide
.

Use the

cfgSave

and

cfgEnable

commands to save any zone

configurations before the switch is powered off.. The saved
configuration is automatically reloaded by the switch on power up. If a
configuration was enabled at the time it was saved, the same
configuration is reinstalled with an automatic

cfgEnable

command.

Saving the System Configuration Files

Upload the switch configuration file for disaster recovery and keep it in a
safe place where it can be easily found. Backing up the configuration after
the initial configuration changes and periodically thereafter is strongly
recommended
.

Backing up the Switch Configuration Settings

FTP must be used on Windows workstations to backup the system
configuration. The FTP server must be running before an upload can occur.
Use the RSHD service or FTP on a UNIX machine.

Note

The two supplied utilities, RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE currently do

not support uploads for Windows, only downloads. These utilities are
available from the support web site:
