configUpload complete: All selected config parameters are uploaded
This command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to
a replacement switch if necessary.
Brocade recommends backing up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete
configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch. For specific instructions about
how to back up the configuration, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The switchShow,

Recommendations for cable management
Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, such as by using cable channels or patch
panels. Note the following recommendations:
• Plan cable management before installing the switch in a rack.
• Leave at least 1 meter (3 feet) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and
replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from
being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
NOTE
A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 in. under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with
no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily
overtightened.
