d. Repeat substeps a, b, and c for the remaining ports, as required.
NOTE
Use only Dell-approved SFPs in the external optical ports of this module.
3. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented and that the end caps have been removed. The cables used in trunking groups must meet
specific requirements.
ATTENTION
A cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5.08 cm (2 inches) under full tensile load and 3.048 cm (1.2
inches) with no tensile load.
Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.
a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the slot in the
transceiver.
b. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable
type, refer to the cable manufacturer's documentation.
c. Repeat for the remaining transceivers as required.
4. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
For information about LED patterns, see the "Operating the converged network switch" chapter in the Dell
M8428-k Hardware Reference Manual.
5. Verify the correct operation of the converged network switch by typing the switchShow command from the
workstation.
This command provides information about the switch module and port status.
6. Verify the correct operation of the converged network switch in the fabric by typing the fabricShow command
from the workstation.
7. Back up the switch module configuration to an FTP server by typing the configUpload command and
following the prompts.
These commands upload the converged network switch configuration to the server, making it available for
downloading to a replacement converged network switch if necessary. Dell recommends backing up the
configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a
replacement switch module.
