Connecting to an Ethernet Port

Use an SFP+ transceiver to connect to an Ethernet port, as described in this section.

Removing and Installing SFP+ Transceivers

Caution Excessively removing and installing an SFP transceiver can shorten its life. Do not remove and insert SFP transceivers more often unless it is absolutely necessary. We recommend disconnecting cables before installing or removing SFP transceivers to prevent damage to the cable or transceiver.

This section describes the proper method for installing and removing an SFP+ transceiver.

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.

Step 2 Remove the dust cover from the port cage.

Step 3 Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver.

Step 4 Insert the transceiver into the port:

•If the transceiver has a Mylar tab, position the transceiver with the tab on the bottom, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.

•If the transceiver has a bale clasp, position the transceiver with the clasp on the bottom, close the clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.

Caution If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned and the tab or clasp are in the correct position before continuing.

Note If you cannot install the cable into the transceiver, insert or leave the dust plug in the cable end of the transceiver.

Removing an SFP+ Transceiver

To remove an SFP+ transceiver, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2 If a cable is installed in the transceiver:

a.Record the cable and port connections for later reference.
