HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 Getting Started & General Reference Guide

52 getting started and general reference guide
SFPs
The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 accommodates 32 to 128 SFPs.
The SFPs supported are the SWL (short wavelength) and LWL (long
wavelength) fibre-optics. Shortwave SFPs have black dots visible from the
front. Longwave SFPs have blue dots visible from the front. The SFPs
qualified by HP are 1Gb/2Gb capable.
To install an SFP, position the SFP so that the key (the tab near the
cable-end of the SFP) is on top and insert the SFP into the port until it is
firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. For more specific
instructions, refer to the SFP manufacturer’s documentation.
Note The SFP is keyed so that it can only be inserted with the correct
orientation into the port. If the SFP does not slide in easily, ensure it is
correctly oriented.
Fibre Channel Cable Connections and Management
LC cables are used to plug into the switch’s SFPs. SC cables are used to
plug into GBICs. LC to SC cables or adapters may be required to connect
HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 switches to other HP switches.
To connect an SC cable to the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64, use the
HP C7540A - 2M LC male - SC male cable adapter. Connect inter switch
links (ISLs) between two HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 switches
using an LC to LC cable.
