Installing an adapter 9
1.
Using a correctly sized slotted screwdriver, carefully remove the two board lock screws located at the
top and bottom of the connector.
2.
Remove the standard profile bracket and place the low profile bracket over the connector. Be careful
not to damage the connector or bind the low profile bracket to the connector.
Connecting the network cable
The HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port has two SFP+ ports. These ports support either of the following:
•
DAC cables
•
Optical Modules to be used with fiber optic cables
For the maximum cable length supported, see "Cable specifications (on page
10
)".
To connect the HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port to the network:
1.
Orient the SFP+ optical module or DAC cable so that the edge connector on the edge of the circuit
board is located closest to the option card circuit board.
2.
Install the SFP+ optical module or DAC cable until the connector seats fully into the SFP+ socket, clicks
into place, and latches securely.
3.
If an optical module is used, remove the protective cover, and then connect the fiber optic cable.
