WARNING: When working with optical fibres, follow all the warning labels and always wear eyeprotection. Never look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fibre or connectoras it may cause eye damage.1. Position the optic so it is in the correct position. The optic has a key that prevents it from beinginserted incorrectly.2. Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.Port Numbering ConventionOn the switch, all ports operate by default in 40GbE mode. If you use a breakout cable, each port canoperate in 4x10GbE mode.Ports are located on three line cards as shown below. The line cards are factory-installed and are nothot-swappable or field-replaceable. On each line card, the fixed 40GbE ports are numbered from bottomto top in multiples of four, starting with zero; for example, 0, 4, 8, 12, and so on. When a breakout cable isinstalled, the resulting four 10GbE ports are numbered with the remaining numbers. For example, 40GbEport 0 contains 10GbE ports 0, 1, 2, and 3; 40GbE port 4 contains 10GbE ports 4, 5, 6, and 7.Line card 0 consists of ports 0 to 143; line card 1 consists of ports 0 to 191; line card 2 consists of ports 0to 191.Figure 14.
