BLADEOS 6.3 Application Guide

The GbESM contains three 10 Gigabit Small Form-factor, Pluggable (SFP+) slots. The 10Gb SFP+ slots can accept 1Gb copper transceivers, 10Gb optical transceivers, or Direct Attach Cables (DAC).

Note – If a DAC is not programmed to meet MSA specifications (including length identifier), the switch disables the port and generates a syslog message indicating that the DAC is not approved.

The GbESM does not disable the SFP+ ports when using MSA-compliant DAC cables. For best results, the following cables have been qualified to work with the switch:
