Using Small Form - Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceivers

Note: Most SFPs require you to remove the cable prior to removing the SFP from the port.

The switch supports any SFP module that complies with the SFP specification as produced by MSA consortium.

The SFPs are “hot-pluggable” into the switch which allows host computers, servers and storage modules to be added dynamically without requiring power removal from the switch or any connected devices.

Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Installation

An SFP plugged into the switch will be automatically inserted when it is ready to begin initialization.

To insert an SFP, slide the SFP into the port, ensuring the correct orientation, until the latch clicks into place.

Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Removal

Removal of SFPs from a switch port causes the automatic bypass of that port. The remaining switch ports continue to operate normally with no degradation of system performance.

To extract an SFP, determine first what kind of extraction mechanism the SFP has.

If the SFP has a removal tag, pull the removal tag to extract the SFP from the port.

If the SFP has a small plastic slider on the bottom side under the optical connector, simultaneously push in the slider and pull out the SFP.

If the SFP has a bale (small metal clasp), unlatch the bale and pull on it to extract the SFP from the port.

Performing a Power On Systems Test

When the switch is powered on, the switch runs through Power-On Self Test (POST) diagnostics to verify the fundamental integrity of the switch box.

1.All switch LEDs turn on (LEDs illuminate) for approximately two seconds during power on, then all LEDs—except for the Power LED—turn off (LEDs extinguish).

2.If the port bypass LEDs are blinking at a constant rate and the Switch Fault LED is on, the switch has detected a hardware fault—contact an authorized service person.
