Optics installation
For a list of supported optics, see the specification sheets at
or contact your Dell EMC Sales
representative.
WARNING:
When working with optical fibers, follow all warning labels and always wear eye protection. Never
look directly into the end of a terminated or unterminated fiber or connector as it may cause eye damage.
CAUTION:
Switches with fan airflow from the PSU to the I/O—reverse airflow—are subject to tighter
restrictions for power consumption on cables and optics that are used for 400 GbE ports. Reverse airflow
switches do not support high-power cables or optics. 400 GbE transceivers and active cables may exceed the
supported threshold.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the switch, when you cable the ports, be sure not to interfere with the airflow
from the small vent holes above and below the ports.
CAUTION:
ESD damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or heel
ground strap when handling the Z9432F-ON switch and components.
1. Position the optic to enter the port correctly.
The optic has a key that prevents it from being inserted incorrectly.
2. Insert the optic into the port until it gently snaps into place.
