4-4. Connecting Peripherals
Connect a fibre channel peripheral to the FC Switch Module through a fibre channel cable according to
procedure below:
1. Check the number of the port on the FC Switch Module on which the fibre channel device will be
installed.
2. Clean the optical connector on the SFP module and the mating connector of the fibre channel cable
used for connection with compressed air spray or exclusive clean er.
3. Insert the connector to the SFP module on the FC Switch Module securely to connect it.
4. Clean the connector on the fibre channel device and the other connector of the fibre channel cable
with compressed air spray or exclusive cleaner.
5. Connect the connector of the cable to the fibre channel device.
The part numbers of available optical cables and their lengths are as follows:
NF9320-SJ01 (5 m), NF9320-SJ11 (5 m, reinforced shield type),
NF9320-SJ02 (10 m), NF9320-SJ12 (10 m, reinforced shield type),
NF9320-SJ03 (20 m), NF9320-SJ13 (20 m, reinforced shield type),
NF9320-SJ04 (50 m), and NF9320-SJ14 (50 m, reinforced shield type)
The following expert knowledge is required for optical cables. Note the following on con nections of
optical cables:
If dust and/or fingerprints adhere to contacts on a fibre channel cable, then the optical p ower and/or
sensitivity of the cable may decrease to make the cable unavailable. Accordingly, before a fibre
channel cable can be connected to an SFP module or fibre channel device, it should be cleaned by
compressed air spray or exclusive cleaner to remove adhesions on the contacts.
Route a fibre channel cable with bending radius of 50 mm or larger.
Do not put labels near the ends of a fibre channel cable if required. The tips of the optical
connectors are opened to cause poor connections.
The cores of fibre channel cables are made of quartz glass. Thus, the tips of a conne ctor are highly
sensitive to be damaged easily by mechanical shock or collision with a hard object.
Do not use any interface cables not authorized by NEC. Always use
interface cables authorized by NEC. Using interface cables other than those
authorized by NEC may cause fire to occur due to short circuit. Note the
following on handing interface cables:
– Do not use damaged cables and connectors.
– Do not step on cables.
– Do not put objects on cables.
– Do not use cables with loose connections.
– Do not apply sudden strain, bending, twisting to portions near the
connectors of cables.

This command is used to download a backed-up configuration
for a specific switch. If using a file from a different
switch, this file's configuration settings will override
any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration
file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,
may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be
required for some parameter changes to take effect.
