Installing an SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceiver
The RackSwitch supports copper and fiber transceivers. For the available
transceivers for the switch, see https://www-01.ibm.com/products/hardware/
configurator/americas/bhui/launchNI.wss.
To install a transceiver, see the following sections:

“Installing a QSFP+ optical transceiver” on page 34
Installing an SFP copper transceiver
The SFP copper transceiver provides an RJ-45 connector that accepts a standard
10/100/1000BASE-T (category 5) cable.
To install an SFP copper transceiver in a 1 Gbps SFP or SFP+ port on the G8264
switch unit, complete the following steps.
Note: To avoid damage to the cable or the SFP transceiver, do not connect the
cable before you install the transceiver.
1. Remove the safety cap and pull the locking lever into the down (unlocked)
position.
2. Insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place. Use minimal pressure
when you insert the transceiver into the slot. Do not use excessive force when
you insert the transceiver; you can damage the transceiver or the SFP slot.
The transceiver has a mechanical guide key to prevent you from inserting the
transceiver incorrectly.
3. Pull up the locking lever to lock the transceiver into place.
4. Connect the cable.
To remove a SFP copper transceiver, disconnect the cable, and pull down the
locking lever to release the transceiver. After you remove the transceiver,
replace the safety cap.
Installing an SFP optical transceiver
The SFP optical transceiver provides two fiber-optic cable connectors for connecting
to external ports.
