Install Transceivers

The switch supports a variety of SFP and XPAK transceivers. To install a transceiver, insert the transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, then pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation for your transceiver.

NOTE: The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

CAUTION! To maintain proper air flow and prevent the switch from overheating, keep covers installed in unused 10-Gbps ports.
