Installing SFP and SFP+ Transceivers
This section contains guidelines and procedures for installing SFP and
SFP+ transceivers. The installation procedures are listed here:
“Installing SFP Modules in the AT-x510-28GSX and
AT-x510-28GSX-80 Switches” on page 117
“Installing SFP and SFP+ Modules” on page 120
Here are general installation guidelines for SFP and SFP+ transceivers:
SFP and SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable. You may install
them while the chassis is powered on.
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.
You should install a transceiver 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.
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.
Note
When VCStack is enabled on the switch, the default setting, slots
S1/27 and S1/28 on the 28-port switches and slots S1/51 and S1/52
on the 52-port switches are reserved as stacking ports and may not
be used for regular SFP or SFP+ transceivers.
