Guidelines to Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers
Please review the following guidelines before installing fiber optic
transceivers in the AT-SBx81GS24a and AT-SBx81XS6 Line Cards:
 You should install a transceiver in a line card before connecting its
network cable.

A fiber optic transceiver is dust sensitive. Always keep the
protective cover in the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not
installed, or when you store the transceiver. When you do remove
this cover, retain it for future use.
 Your Allied Telesis sales representative can provide you with a list
of supported transceivers for the line cards.
 The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements of
the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.

The SFP and SFP+ transceivers and AT-SP10TW cables are hot-
swappable. You may install them while the chassis is powered on.
 Unnecessary removal or insertion of transceivers can lead to
premature failures.
Warning
Transceivers can be damaged by static electricity. Follow the
procedure in “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)” on
page 100 to guard against ESD damage when unpacking and
installing the devices.
Caution
The temperature of an operational transceiver can exceed 70 C (158
F). Exercise caution when removing or handling a transceiver with
unprotected hands.
