Connecting a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender This chapter describes how to connect the ports on a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender (FEX). Caution When running power and data cables in overhead or subfloor cable trays, we strongly recommend that you have power cables and other potential noise sources as far away as practical from network cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment.
This section describes how to connect a 10-Gigabit Ethernet port to a host. There are four network facing 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports for the Cisco Nexus 2248GV, 2148T, and 2248TP, eight for the Cisco Nexus 2232TM, 2232PP, and two on the Cisco Nexus 2224TP. An SFP+ transceiver is used to connect to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet port.
Chapter 4 Connecting a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender Connecting to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Port Installing an SFP+ Transceiver To install an SFP+ transceiver, follow these steps: Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Chapter 4 Connecting a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender Connecting to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Port If you have difficulty removing a bale clasp SFP+ transceiver, you should reseat it by returning Note the bale clasp to the up position. Press the SFP+ transceiver inward and upward into the cage.
If the cable does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned before continuing. Caution For instructions on verifying connectivity, see the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender Software Configuration Guide. Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Hardware Installation Guide...
Chapter 4 Connecting a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender Connecting to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet Port Maintaining SFP+ Transceivers and Cables You must keep SFP+ transceivers clean and dust free to maintain high signal accuracy and prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should be below 0.35 dB.
