Installing SFP+ Transceivers in the AT-ANC10S/2 Adapter
Here are the guidelines to installing and cabling SFP+ transceivers in the
AT-ANC10S/2 adapter:
 SFP+ transceivers can be hot-swapped while the adapter is
powered on. However, you should always disconnect the fiber
optic cables first before removing a transceiver.
 You should install a transceiver in the adapter before connecting
the fiber optic cable.

Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in
the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it
for future use.
 Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.

The connector on the fiber topic cable should fit snugly into the port
on the adapter, and the tab should lock the connector into place.
 Do not remove the dust cover from a fiber optic port until you are
ready to connect a fiber optic cable. Dust contamination can
adversely affect the operation of a fiber optic port.
Warning
A transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to
observe all standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions,
such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.
