3.2.5.SFP/SFP+ Transceiver Installation
Arctica 4804iq series provide 48 RJ45 transceiver slots and 4 SFP+ ports.
The procedure for installing the SFP+ transceiver is shown below:
Step 1: Put on a ESD wrist strap (or antistatic gloves)
Step 2: Insert the SFP+ transceiver to the guide rail inside the SFP+ port. Do not put the
SFP+ transceiver up-side-down.
Step 3: Push the SFP+ transceiver along the guide rail gently until you feel the
transceiver snap into place at the bottom of the SFP+ port.
Note: the SFP+ transceiver is hot swappable.
Caution!
Do not stare directly at the 2 fiber bore in the SFP transceiver when the switch is in
operation, otherwise the laser may hurt your eyes.
3.2.6.Copper Cable/Fiber Cable Connection
Copper cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the switch
copper port;
Step 2: Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of other
device;
Step 3: Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lighted LED indicates
that the link has been established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be
examined.
Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the right port. Connecting to wrong
ports might damage the switch.
Fiber cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Remove the protective plug from the SFP+ fiber transceiver bore; Remove the
protective cap from one end of the fiber cable. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
Step 2: Attach one end of the fiber cable to the SFP+ transceiver, and attach the other
end to the transceiver of the corresponding devices. Note: The SFP+ transceiver’s TX
port should be connected to the RX port of the corresponding device, and vice versa.
Step 3: Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has
been established; otherwise the link is not ready and should be examined.
