NOTE

The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of 
these requirements, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

a. Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port and insert 

the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.

b. Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it so that the key (the ridge on 

one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable 
into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.

c. Repeat step a and step b for the remaining ports.

d. Organize the cables as required.

ATTENTION

Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vents.
