Card Overview
This section provides a general overview of the Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceiver card-edge
components. For information on the available LEDs, refer to the section “
Control and
Monitoring Features ” on page 9-3. Note that while an FET-6945 is described here, the
card-edge components is the same regardless of the card model but the number may differ.

1. Bootload Button (SW3)
SW3 is used for factory service in the unlikely event of a complete card failure. The Bootload
process is further described in the section “ Bootload Button ” on page 11-2.
2. Fiber Optic Connectors
The Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceivers use a blind mate LC/UPC connector to interface with the
Rear Modules (8320AR-056 and 8320AR-057). The rear module remains passive, while allowing
for the Fiber Ethernet Switch Transceiver to be replaced without the need to remove any
connected Ethernet or fiber optic cables. The blind mate connector is connected to the optical
module via a single mode LC/UPC pigtail.
Each fiber optic connector for the card includes a dust cap. The dust cap must stay on at all times
when the card is not installed in a frame. Ensure to keep the fibers end face clean and use the caps
to protect the fiber from scratches and collecting dust. Refer to the document
Important
Regulatory and Safety Notices , that shipped with your unit, for safety information.

Note
— The number of fiber optic connectors and SFPs on the card is dependent on the card
model.
