Chapter 3 Hardware Overview

3.1.2.1 Default Ethernet Settings

The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch are:

•Speed: Auto

•Duplex: Auto

•Flow control: Off

3.1.3Mini-GBIC Slots

These are 4 or 24 slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber-optic cable to the Switch. The Switch does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form- Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.

You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.

•Type: SFP connection interface

•Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)

To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber- optic module’s connectors.

3.1.3.1 Transceiver Installation

Use the following steps to install a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP or XFP module).

1Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.

2Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
