Installing a transceiver

You can install a new transceiver in an SFP+ slot while the device is powered on and running. While installing a transceiver, wear an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to a metal surface.

NOTE

For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.

CAUTION

All fiber optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.

Use the following steps to install a transceiver:

1.Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by attaching the clip end to a metal surface (such as an equipment rack) to act as ground.

2.Remove the new transceiver from the protective packaging.

3.Gently insert the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. Transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.

Cabling a fiber optic transceiver

Use the following steps to cable a fiber optic transceiver.

1.Remove the protective covering from the fiber-optic port connectors and store the covering for future use.

2.Before cabling a fiber optic transceiver, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning the cable connectors and the port connectors. For more information, refer to “Cleaning the fiber optic connectors” on page 27.

3.Gently insert the cable connector (a tab on each connector should face upward) into the transceiver connector until the tabs lock into place.

4.Observe the link and active LEDs to determine if the network connections are functioning properly. For more information about the LED indicators, refer to “LED activity interpretation” on page 29.

Cleaning the fiber optic connectors

To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic transceiver (SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+) and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each time you disconnect and reconnect them. Dust can accumulate in the connectors and cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.

To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber optic reel-type cleaner. When not using an SFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering in place.
