FC8PT Pass-Through Module 5
1. Install the Pass-Through Module
NOTE: Computer equipment contains static-sensitive components that may be
damaged during handling. Static precautions such as grounded wrist straps are
recommended during the installation process.
1 Remove the pin cover from the connector pins at the back of the pass-
through module, as shown in Figure 1-1, Removing the Pin Cover.
Figure 1-1. Removing the Pin Cover
2 Locate an empty module bay in the server.
3 If the selected bay contains an I/O module blank, remove it.
4 Make sure that the latching arm is in the unlatched position, and slide the
pass-through module into the bay until it stops.

5 Rotate the latching arm upward until it is flush against the front panel,
and the top of the arm is seated in the latch, as shown in Figure 1-2,
Installing the Pass-Through Module.
2. Attach a Fiber Optic Cable
(Optional)
Install a fiber optic cable between the pass-through module and the target
device. With short-wave lasers, use multimode fiber optic cable that adheres
to the following specifications.
Fiber Optic Cable Maximum Length Minimum
Length
Connector
62.5/125 μm (multimode) 200
MHz*km bandwidth cable
150 meters at 2.125 Gb/s
70 meters at 4.25 Gb/s
21 meters at 8.5 Gb/s
.5 meters LC

FC8PT Pass-Through Module 7
1 Connect the fiber optic cables to the LC connectors on the pass-through
module.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the target Fibre Channel device.
3. View Status LEDs
The pass-through module contains several light-
emitting diodes (LEDs). Each port includes a pair of
LEDs (one green and one yellow) that indicate the
status of the ports on the SFP. Power-on self test
(POST) conditions and results are summarized in
Tables 1-1 and 1-2. In addition, at the bottom of the
pass-through module faceplate is an additional pair
of LEDs (one blue and one green) that provide the
status of the pass-through module. Pass-through
module status LEDs are shown in Table 1-3, Pass-
Through Module Status LEDs.
NOTE: For the link rate conditions, there is a one
second pause when the LED is off between each
group of fast blinks (2, 3, or 4). You should observe the LED sequence for several
seconds to ensure that the pause is correctly identified.
