Installing an Optional SFP Transceiver

To install an SFP transceiver in an AT-GS900/8POE Gigabit Ethernet switch, 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.

Note

You must use the original shipping material if you need to return the module to Allied Telesis.

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.

Note

Unnecessary removal and insertion of a SFP module can lead to premature failure.

3.Locate the label on the transceiver and turn it so that the label is on top and the alignment groove is on the bottom.
