Installing a low-profile bracket
You might have to install a low-profile bracket to complete the product installation. The low-profile bracket
replaces the existing standard profile bracket shipped on the product.
To install a low-profile bracket:
Procedure
1.
With a correctly sized slotted screwdriver, carefully remove the two board lock screws located at the top
and bottom of the connector.
2.
Remove the standard profile bracket, and then place the low-profile bracket over the connector.
3.
Be careful not to damage the connector or bind the low-profile bracket to the connector.
Connecting the network cable
The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port Adapter has two SFP+ ports. These ports support either of the
following:
• Direct Attached Copper (DAC) cables
• Optical Modules to be used with fiber optic cables
For the maximum length supported, see
Cable specifications
on page 11.
Procedure
1.
Orient the SFP+ optical module or DAC cable so that the Gold Fingers on the edge of the circuit board are
located closest to the option card circuit board.
2.
Install the SFP+ optical module or DAC cable all the way into the SFP+ socket until it clicks into place and
is securely latched.
3.
If an optical module is used, remove the protective cover and connect the fiber optic cable.
