Install a Transceiver
About This Task
Data ports 3 and 4 provide SFP+ ports that can support 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps transceivers. Refer to the
transceivers and cables datasheet
for a list of pluggable transceivers supported for E2122. To install a
transceiver:
Procedure
1. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and remove the transceiver from its packaging.
Note
If there is a protective dust cover on the transceiver connector, do not remove it at this
time.
2. Hold the transceiver so that the connector will seat properly.
3. Align the transceiver with the port slot.
4. Push the transceiver into the port slot until it clicks and locks into place.
5. Connect the cables to transceiver ports:
a. Remove the protective covers from the transceiver and from the connectors on each end of the
cable.
b. Insert the cable connector into the transceiver connector until it clicks into place.
c. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate port on the other device.
Some fiber-optic cables may be terminated at the other end with two separate connectors, one
for each fiber-optic strand. In this case, ensure that the transmit fiber-optic strand from the
controller is connected to the receive port of the other device, and the receive fiber-optic strand
on the controller is connected to the transmit port of the other device.
6. If a transceiver port is unused, cover the port using a dust cover.
Warning
Fiber-optic transceivers use Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical instruments to view the laser
output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.
