Transceivers

NOTE

You must install Dell-approved transceivers in the switch module.

The converged network switch was designed to work with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules. The basic switch module ships with four 8 Gbps Dell-approved transceivers for the Fibre Channel ports.

NOTE

You can also install 4 Gbps transceivers in the FC ports of the switch module. All transceivers must be Dell-approved.
