Cable Devices to the Router
Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices. Devices
can have small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or small form-factor (SFF)
transceivers or gigabit interface converters (GBIC). Lucent (LC)-type duplex fiber
optic cable connectors are designed for SFP transceivers, while
Subscriber-connector (SC)-type connectors are designed for GBICs. Choose the
fiber optic cable with the connector combination that matches the device you are
connecting to the router.
Firmware Installation
The router comes with current firmware installed. You can upgrade the firmware
from the management workstation as new firmware becomes available. You can
use the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager application or the CLI to install new
firmware.
Using SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager to Install
Firmware
To install firmware using the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager:
1. Double-click the desired router in the topology display.
2. In the Firmware Upload window, click Select to browse for and select the
firmware file you want to upload.
3. Click Start to begin the firmware load process. A message displays a
warning that the router will be reset to activate the firmware.
4. Click OK to continue firmware installation or click the Cancel button to
cancel the firmware installation.
WARNING!!
Installing new firmware disrupts the router connectivity since you must
reboot the router to activate the new firmware.
The reboot may result in the
transfer of incorrect data between devices connected to the router. QLogic
recommends that you suspend activity on the interfaces before activating
the new firmware.
