Figure 13. Inserting an SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ Transceiver into a Slot
To install an SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver, do the following:
Connecting to Twisted-Pair Copper Ports
The RJ-45 management port on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can
use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches,
routers, or hubs).
• When selecting a fiber SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ device, considering safety, make sure
that it can function at a temperature that is not more than the recommended
maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved
Laser Class 1 SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver.
• This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers are
compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye
safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit
port when it is powered on.
Instructions for Installing SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ Transceivers
Step Action
1 Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate transceiver type that is also
compatible with the switch transceiver support.
2 If the SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ slot is covered with a rubber protective cap, remove the cap and keep it
for later replacement.
3 Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing
down. Note that SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in the
correct orientation (see
Figure 13 on page 28 ).
4 Slide the transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place. If you do not immediately connect a
cable to the port, use a rubber protective cap to keep the transceiver optics clean.
To remove a transceiver: First disconnect the network cable, then release and pull the wire
bail to remove the transceiver from the slot.
