Installing SFP Modules
You can install or remove a mini-GBIC SFP module from an SFP port without having to power off the switch.
The Switch lets you install a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) device of your choice to make a fiber connection
via the 100/1000Base-X SFP Ports. See the Transition Networks
for TN models. See the related
for safety precautions and warnings specific to your SFP model. The SFP ports should use UL Listed
Optional Transceiver products, Rated 3.3Vdc, Laser Class 1.
1.
Prepare a fiber optic cable with an appropriate connecter. Warning: The fiber optic port contains a Class 1
laser device. When the ports are disconnected, always cover them with the provided plug. Exposed fiber
optic ports may cause skin or eye damage.
2.
Remove a rubber plug from the Switch and position the SFP device at an SFP slot
with the label facing correctly.
3.
Carefully slide the SFP device into the slot, aligning it with the internal installation
guides. Ensure that the SFP device is firmly seated against the internal mating
connector.
4.
See the related SFP manual for operating information specific to your particular SFP
model.
5.
Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate far end Ethernet port.
Note: After the cable is properly connected at both ends, the Switch LED should be
functional. See LED Descriptions
on page
for a description of LED operation.
See the related online
for operating information specific to your particular
SFP model.
