Chapter 2 Installing the SN 5428-2 Storage Router

Installing SFP Modules

Installing SFP Modules

Before you install or remove an SFP (small form-factor pluggable) module, read the installation information in this section. For connecting to SFP modules in the Gigabit Ethernet ports and the Fibre Channel ports, read the instructions in the “Connecting to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Ports” section on page 2-24.

The Gigabit Ethernet ports and Fibre Channel ports use single-mode or multimode fiber-optic SFP modules with LC connectors. (See Figure 2-10.) See Appendix B, “Cable and Port Pinouts” for SFP module specifications.

Note Because of interoperability issues, Cisco does not support SFPs purchased from third-party vendors. See Appendix B, “Cable and Port Pinouts” for SFP port specifications.

Note When fiber-optic cable plugs and SFP module receptacles are disconnected from each other, place dust covers on them.

Warning Because invisible radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open apertures. To see translated versions of the warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety document that accompanied the device.
