Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver

FIGURE 13 INSTALLING AN OPTIONAL SFP TRANSCEIVER

These switches support SFP-compatible transceivers. To install an SFP transceiver, do the following:

1.Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate SFP transceiver type.

2.Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in one orientation.

3.Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.

NOTE

SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver. However, always first disconnect the network cable before removing a transceiver.

NOTE

SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.

Grounding the Chassis

Before powering on the switch, ground the switch to earth as described below.

1.Ensure that the rack on which the switch is to be mounted is properly grounded and in compliance with ETSI ETS 300 253.

2.Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).

3.Disconnect all power cables to the switch.
