Chapter 2 Installing the SN 5428 Storage Router
Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Ports
Note When you disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the module, grip the body of the
connector. Do not grip the connector jacket-sleeve. Gripping the sleeve can, over
time, compromise the integrity of the fiber-optic cable termination in the
connector.
Dirt or skin oils may have accumulated on an MT-RJ plug faceplate (around the
optical-fiber openings), which can generate significant attenuation and reduce the
optical power levels below threshold levels so that a link cannot be made. To
clean an MT-RJ plug faceplate, follow this procedure:
Step 1 Using a lint-free tissue soaked in 99 percent pure isopropyl alcohol, gently wipe
the faceplate.
Step 2 Remove any residual dust from the faceplate with compressed air before installing
the cable.
Note When fiber-optic cable plugs and SFP module receptacles are disconnected from
each other, place dust covers on them.
The following sections describe how to connect cables to the Gigabit Ethernet and
Fibre Channel ports:
