About the Transceivers

NOTE:

■If the port is not being used, leave the rubber dust cover plugged into the transceiver.

■Always use the bail latch to remove and insert the transceiver; do not pull on the transceiver body.

■Always put the bail latch into the up position before inserting the Fibre Channel cable.

SANbox SSP comes with a full set of transceivers already installed, one in each port. QLogic’s transceivers include a bail latch that must be in the down position before removing the transceiver and put in the up position before inserting the Fibre Channel cable.

NOTE: QLogic highly recommends that you use only transceivers certified and sold by QLogic. The transceivers that QLogic sells are Small Form-Factor Pluggable industry standard transceivers. If another optical SFP transceiver is used, other than one recommended and sold by QLogic Corporation, the user must ensure compliance with UL recognized standards and DHHS regulations.

To replace a transceiver:

1.Order replacement transceivers, part number 097-0007. The kit includes four transceivers.

2.Pull down on the bail latch, and then pull the old transceiver out of the port.

3.Insert the new transceiver into the port.

4.Remove the rubber dust cover from the transceiver before inserting the Fibre Channel cable.
