Chapter 3 Hardware Overview
3.1.2 Dual Personality Interfaces
There are four dual personality interfaces, comprising four 1000Base-T/SFP combo ports. For each interface you can connect either to the 1000Base-T port or the SFP slot. If an SFP transceiver is inserted in the SFP slot, the corresponding 1000Base- T port will be disabled.
Note: Connect the 1000Base-T RJ-45 port only after the transceiver is removed from the corresponding SFP slot.
3.1.3 SFP/SFP+ Slots
These are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ transceivers. The SFP is also referred to as a mini-GBIC. The SFP+ (SFP Plus) is an enhanced version of the SFP and supports data rates of 10 Gbps. 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) or 10 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 transceiver (SFP or SFP+ module).
