Figure 42. Installing and removing a 16 Gbps SFP+ with pull tab (shown without cable attached) Complete the following steps to remove an SFP or SFP+ with a wire bail. 1. Remove any cables that are inserted into the transceiver. Use the extraction tool to open the cable latching mechanism.
Note: The mSFP transceivers are used only with the FC8-64 port blade. Narrower OM-3 LC cables are used to connect the FC8-64. These cables are offered by several major manufacturers. Contact your IBM representative for options regarding different cable and patch panel configurations to simplify cable management with higher density FC8-64 port blades.
An ICL license must be installed on all systems forming the ICL connection. Beginning with Fabric OS v7.0.1, up to nine neighboring SAN384B-2 and SAN768B-2 chassis can be connected with the QSFP cables. With Fabric OS v7.0.0, a maximum of six chassis can be connected. An off-the-shelf QSFP cable up to 50 meters long can be used as an ICL cable.
ICL feature. The recommended topology is the parallel type where there are four QSFP cables connected between any pair of SAN384B-2 or SAN768B-2 chassis. The full mesh configuration is also supported. Figure 45. QSFP cable and transceiver Time and items required The replacement procedure for an QSFP cable takes less than five minutes.
Possible ICL configurations Figure 47 on page 96 illustrates one possible QSFP cable configuration between two SAN384B-2 or SAN768B-2 chassis. Each of two cores in one chassis should be interconnected with each of two cores in the second chassis. This provides for inter-chassis link (ICL) trunking between chassis, ensuring redundancy.
Chassis 1 (SAN768B-2) Chassis 2 (SAN768B-2) SAN384B-2 and SAN768B-2 chassis can be connected in a core/edge configuration. Figure 48 on page 97 shows two core and four edge chassis. Although only SAN768B-2 chassis are shown in the figure, the chassis can be any combination of SAN384B-2 and SAN768B-2.

Figure 48. Core/edge ICL topology for SAN384B-2 and SAN768B-2 chassis SAN384B-2 and SAN768B-2 chassis can also be connected in a full mesh configuration as shown in Figure 49 on page 98. The SAN768B-2 chassis are shown in the figure, but either chassis can be connected. In this example, the three trunk groups are shown in different shades.

The configDownload command can be entered through a Telnet or serial session, but the SAN384B-2 must have an Ethernet connection to the server name or IP of the host for the download process to complete. For more information, refer to the help configdownload command or the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.
Verifying correct operation of system 1. Log in to the SAN384B-2 as admin: switch:admin> login login: admin password: xxxxxxxx switch:admin> 2. Enter the slotShow -m command and verify that all the installed cards are detected and that their status is operational (enabled).
Connect the other ends to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN, if not already connected. Note: The SAN384B-2 can be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management tools, such as Telnet or Web Tools. Ensure that the system is not modified using other connections during the rest of this procedure.
