Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and 
then energize the devices. Device host bus adapters can have SFP (or SFF) 
transceivers or GigaBit Interface Converters (GBIC). LC-type duplex fiber optic 
cable connectors are designed for SFP transceivers, while SC-type connectors 
are designed for GBICs. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper 
orientation. Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector combination that 
matches the device host bus adapter.

GL_Ports self configure as FL_Ports when connected to loop of devices or 
F_Ports when connected to a single device. G_Ports self configure as F_Ports 
when connected to a single device. Both GL_Ports and G_Ports self configure as 
E_Ports when connected to another switch.

The switch comes with current firmware installed. You can upgrade the firmware 
from the management workstation as new firmware becomes available. You can 
use the CLI, QuickTools, or Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 to install new firmware. 
This guide describes how to install firmware using QuickTools and the CLI. Refer 
to the SANbox 5000 Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide for 
information about installing firmware using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.
