Connecting the Console
The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches provide a serial console port on the rear of
the switch. The connection procedure for this port is listed below:
Connecting the Console to the Switch
1. Find the console cable provided in the accessory kit. Attach the console cable end
to console port in the rear of the switch.
2. Connect the other side of the console cable to a character terminal (PC).
3. Power on the switch and the character terminal. Configure the switch through the
character terminal.
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ Transceiver Installation
The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches provide forty-eight SFP+ and six QSFP+
ports. The procedure for installing a SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver is shown below.
Installing the SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ Transceiver
1. Put on a ESD wrist strap (or anti-static gloves)
2. Insert the SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver to the guide rail inside the SFP/SFP+/
QSFP+ port. Do not insert the SFP/SFP+/QSFP++ transceiver upside-down.
3. Push the SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver along the guide rail gently until you feel the
transceiver snap into place at the bottom of the SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ port.
NOTE: The SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers are hot swappable.
Caution! Do not stare directly at the 2 fiber bore in the SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceiver when
the switch is in operation, otherwise the laser may hurt your eyes.
