Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver

The AT-8000/8POE Fast Ethernet Switch has one SFP uplink port.

To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:

Note

The transceiver can be hot-swapped; you do not need to power off the switch to install a transceiver. However, always remove the cables before removing the transceiver.

Note

You must install the transceiver before you connect cables to it.

1.Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the packaging material in a safe location.

Warning

An SFP transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the transceiver.

2. Remove the dust plug from the SFP slot, as shown in Figure 9.
