CAUTION:
•
Never bend or curve a fiber excessively. The bend radius of a fiber must be not less than 100 mm
(3.94 in).
•
Keep the fiber end clean.
•
Make sure the fiber connector matches the transceiver module.
•
Before connecting a fiber, make sure the optical power at the receiving end does not exceed the
transceiver module's upper threshold of the optical receive power. If the optical power at the
receiving end exceeds the threshold, the transceiver module might be damaged.
•
Do not install a transceiver module connected with a fiber into a fiber port. To connect an optical
fiber, first install the transceiver module in the fiber port and then connect the fiber.
•
Insert a dust plug into any open fiber port.
•
Make sure the Tx and Rx ports on a transceiver module are connected to the Rx and Tx ports on
the peer end, respectively.
The firewall supports GE SFP transceiver modules and 10GE SFP+ transceiver modules. For the
transceiver module specifications, see "GE fiber Ethernet port" and "10 GE fiber Ethernet port."
No transceiver module is provided with the firewall. As a best practice, use H3C transceiver
modules.

To connect the firewall to the network through an optical fiber:
1.
Remove the dust plug from the fiber port.
2.
Remove the dust cap from the transceiver module and insert it into the fiber port.
3.
Remove the dust cap of the optical fiber connector, and use dust free paper and absolute
alcohol clean the end face of the fiber connector.
4.
Identify the Rx and Tx ports on the transceiver module. Plug one end of the optical fiber into the
transceiver module in the firewall, and plug the other end into the transceiver module in the peer
device.
Make sure the Rx port and the Tx port are connected to the Tx port and the Rx port on the peer
device, respectively.
