MGS3520 Series User’s Guide

To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic
module’s connectors.

• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) or 1 Megabit per second (Mbps)

3.1.3.1 Transceiver Installation

Use the following steps to install a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module).

Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.

Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.

The Switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is
functioning properly.

Close the transceiver’s latch (latch styles vary).

Connect the fiber optic cables to the transceiver.

3.1.3.2 Transceiver Removal

Use the following steps to remove a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module).

Remove the fiber optic cables from the transceiver.

Open the transceiver’s latch (latch styles vary).

Pull the transceiver out of the slot.
