Install Transceivers
The switch supports a variety of SFP transceivers. To install a transceiver, insert
the transceiver into the port and gently press until it snaps in place. To remove a
transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, then
pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver
manufacturers have different release mechanisms. Consult the documentation for
your transceiver.
CAUTION!
„
If the switch is mounted in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient
temperature. Be sure to install the chassis in an environment that is
compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. Refer to
“Environmental” on page A-7 for technical specifications.
„
Do not restrict chassis air flow. Allow 16 cm (6.5 in) minimum clearance
at the front and rear of the switch (surface mount) or rack for service
access and ventilation.
„
Multiple rack-mounted units connected to the AC supply circuit may
overload that circuit or overload the AC supply wiring. Consider the
power source capacity and the total power usage of all switches on the
circuit. Refer to
“Electrical” on page A-5 .
„
Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained from the switch
chassis to the AC power source.
NOTE:
The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under
gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
