SFP Transceivers
An SFP (small form-factor pluggable) transceiver is a module that fits into the interface
connectors on the RAID controllers and the ESM modules (see Figure 2-10). Every Fibre
Channel cable that connects to a RAID controller or ESM module requires an SFP
transceiver.

You can hot-swap a failed SFP transceiver, which means you can replace it while the
controller enclosure is in operation. If you replace the SFP transceiver and continue to
experience problems, the enclosure may have defective components or connections.
Check the storage management software (TPSSM) for indications of other component
failures.
