The Aruba transceivers are Class 1 laser devices. Avoid direct eye exposure to the beam coming from the
transmit port.
n
The transceivers operate only at full duplex. Half duplex operation is not supported.
n
Use of supported genuine Aruba transceivers is always recommended. Non-Aruba SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28
transceivers are not supported. Non-Aruba SFP/SFP+ transceivers can be used in unsupported transceiver
mode, but no support or warranty will be provided. Should you require additional transceivers, contact your
Aruba sales representative or an authorized reseller.
n
Always disconnect the network cable from a transceiver before installing it in the switch.
n
You can install or remove a transceiver from an SFP/QSFP slot without having to power off the switch.

Interface Group Operation
The SFP28 ports in the Aruba CX 10000 Distributed Services Switch 48Y6C (R8P13A/R8P14A) are organized
into an interface-group of 4 ports. All transceivers in that interface-group must have the same speed. For
example, if the interface-group is configured for 25 Gbps operation, any 10 Gbps transceivers installed will
be in conflict with the interface-group configuration and will not be enabled. Any interface in conflict with
the current configuration will cause a fault event to be logged in the event log, the interface will be labeled as
a “group speed mismatch", and the port LED will flash amber to indicate an installation error was detected.
All fault indications will flash with the Chassis Status LED to alert the user.
