CAUTION: Before connecting a transceiver to a source, check the receive power of the transceiver with an
optical power meter. Generally, Dell Force10 specified optics are not to be subjected to receive power higher
than that stipulated by the optic specification. If the optic is exposed to optical power in excess of the
specification, there is a high likelihood that it will be damaged.

Step Task
1
Figure 5-3. XFP
Position the XFP so it is in the upright position (XFPs on the bottom
(even-numbered ports) are upside down; odd-numbered ports (on top)
install right-side up), with the bail latch on top in the closed position, as
shown here.
For details on XFP installation, see the instruction that accompanies the
XFP.
2
Insert the XFP gently into the port until it snaps into place. (The design of the XFP prevents it from seating
incorrectly.)
3
The XFP transceiver contains Rx and Tx labels on the two fiber optic connections, and the connections have
keyways that prevent inserting the cables incorrectly.
