26CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE SWITCH

 

If there is evidence of a problem, see “Solving Problems Indicated by

 

LEDs” on page 54 for a list of suggested solutions.

 

CAUTION: The Switch has no ON/OFF switch; the only method of

 

connecting or disconnecting mains power is by connecting or

 

disconnecting the power cord.

 

 

SFP Operation

The following section describes how to insert an SFP transceiver into an

 

SFP port.

 

SFP transceivers are hot-insertable and hot-swappable. You can remove

 

them from and insert them into any SFP port without having to power

 

down the Switch.

Approved SFP The following list of approved Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers is correct Transceivers at the time of publication.

3CSFP92 SFP (1000BASE-LX)

3CSFP97 SFP (1000BASE-LH70)

3CSFP93 SFP (1000BASE-T)

Inserting an SFP To be recognized as valid, the SFP transceiver must have the following Transceiver characteristics:

1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver

Use this transceiver to connect Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports on the Switch directly to a single-mode fiber-optic cable or to multimode fiber using a conditioned launch cable.

1000BASE-LH70 SFP transceiver

Use this transceiver to connect Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports on the Switch directly to a single-mode fiber-optic cable.
