SAN Director installation guide 173
Reconnect system to network and fabric
Refer to the cable routing information recorded in Table 43 on page 176 for the following steps:
1. Connect the CP cards to the local area network:
a. Refer to the cable routing information recorded earlier and insert the appropriate Ethernet
cables into each Ethernet port.
b. Connect the other ends to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN, if not already connected.
NOTE: The 4/256 SAN Director can be accessed by remote connection using any of the available
management tools, such as telnet or Advanced Web Tools. Ensure that the Director is not modified
from other connections during the rest of this procedure
2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades, as required:
NOTE: The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of
these requirements, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide.
a. Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port and insert the
transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct position. If a
transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned. For instructions that
are specific to the transceiver model, refer to the transceiver manufacturer’s documentation.
b. Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it so that the key (the ridge on one
side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver; then, insert the cable
into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
Cables are keyed so that they can only be inserted in the correct position. If a cable does not
slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned. For instructions that are specific to the
cable type, refer to the cable manufacturer’s documentation.
c. Repeat steps a and b for the remaining ports.
CAUTION: Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vent (located on the upper port side of
the chassis).
The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches
with no tensile load.
Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.
