Chapter 3. Installing and removing an SFP+ module
The switch module supports both the 8-Gbps and 4-Gbps FC SFP+ transceiver and the 10-Gbps
CEE SFP+ transceiver. The SFP+ transceivers are laser products that convert electrical signals to
optical signals.
For additional information about the location of the switch module, the network interface
requirements, and expansion options, see the documentation for your BladeCenter unit.
NOTE
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Handling an SFP+ module
Before you install an SFP+ module, read the following information:
•
The module housing of the SFP+ has an integral guide key that is designed to prevent you from
inserting the module incorrectly.
•
Use minimal pressure when you insert the module into the port. Forcing the module into the
port can cause damage to the module or the module port.
•
You can insert or remove the module while the BladeCenter unit is turned on.
•
You must first insert the module into the port before you can connect the cables.
•
You must remove the cable from the SFP+ module before you remove the SFP+ module from
the switch module.
Statement 3:
CAUTION
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or transmitters) are
installed, note the following:
•
Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in
exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
•
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
DANGER
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode.
Note the following:
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical
instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.
