Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-SBx31XS6 Line Card

Please review the information in “Guidelines to Installing SFP, SFP+,

CSFP, and XFP Transceivers” on page 131 before performing this

procedure.

To install 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers in the AT-SBx31XS6 Line Card,

perform the following procedure:

1. Remove the dust plug from the slot chosen for the SFP+ transceiver,

as shown in Figure 95.

SBx31XS6 Line Card

Note

Slots 2 and 3 share backplane connectors with slots 4 and 5 on the

line card, respectively. If you are installing from one to four

transceivers, Allied Telesis recommends using slots 0 to 3 so that

each transceiver has its own dedicated backplane connector. This

can improve network performance.
