Technical data

Setting the time zone needs to be done only once, because the value is stored in nonvolatile
memory. For U.S. time zones, use the following table to determine the correct parameter for the
tsTimeZone command.

FCIP and Fibre Channel routing services configuration
The ports on the switch are initially set to persistently disabled.
If you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_Port, use the portcfgpersistentenable
command to enable the ports.
If you are using the FC ports as EX_Ports, you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services
feature prior to enabling the ports.
Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for detailed instructions on configuring the Fibre Channel
router ports and GbE ports on the switch.
Installing transceivers and cabling the switch
Perform the following steps to install SFP+ transceivers and cable the switch. The process for installing
QSFP transceivers is similar.
1. Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports, as required. The ports selected for use in
trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Fabric
OS Administrator's Guide.
