3.4.1 Installing SFP Transceivers
The switch provides slots for optional (not provided) SFP transceivers. The supported transceiver types are listed
below:
•
1000BASE-SX
•
1000BASE-LX
•
1000BASE-LH
•
1000BASE-FX
•
1000BASE-T
To install a SFP transceiver:
1.
Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate transceiver type that is also
compatible with the switch transceiver support.
2.
If the SFP slot is covered with a rubber protective cap, remove the cap and keep it for later replacement.
3.
Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and the slot connector facing down. Note
that SFP transceivers are keyed so they can only be installed in the correct orientation.
NOTE
SPF transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off
before installing or removing the transceiver.
